Frequently asked questions
Is Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR safe to use?
Yes, Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR is generally safe when used as prescribed by the doctor. However, individuals might experience side effects like nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach upset, headaches, nasal congestion, sore throat, respiratory tract infections, and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Hypoglycemia can occur more frequently in patients taking Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR in combination with insulin or Sulfonylurea. It is crucial to report any persistent problems while using this medication to your doctor.
Can the use of Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR lead to hypoglycemia?
Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR typically does not cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) on its own. However, it might contribute to hypoglycemia if the patient lacks adequate caloric intake while taking this medication. Hypoglycemia symptoms include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, a rapid heartbeat, and feelings of anxiety or shakiness. These symptoms are more likely to be noticed when food is missed, alcohol is consumed, exercise levels are pushed beyond normal limits, or other antidiabetic medications are taken concurrently. Regular blood sugar monitoring is highly recommended for patients taking this medication. Carry glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice in case of emergency.
Can the use of Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, the use of Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR can cause nausea and vomiting. If vomiting occurs, it is important to drink plenty of water or other fluids taken in small, frequent sips. If vomiting persists or if dehydration symptoms like dark urine, reduced urination frequency, and dizziness are noticed, consult your doctor immediately. Do not take any other medications without consulting your doctor.
Are there specific contraindications to using Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR?
It is advisable to avoid using Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR in patients with known allergies to any of the components or excipients of this medication. This medicine is also considered harmful for individuals with severe kidney impairment, liver impairment, congestive heart failure, lactic acidosis, or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Can Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR cause lactic acidosis?
Yes, the use of Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR can lead to lactic acidosis. This is a rare side effect that occurs when there's an increase in the amount of lactic acid in the blood. It is often linked to long-term use of metformin and therefore requires careful consideration for patients with underlying kidney disease, elderly individuals, or those who consume large amounts of alcohol. Lactic acidosis can cause symptoms like muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, tiredness, a feeling of cold in arms and legs, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or a slow heart rate. If you experience these symptoms, stop taking Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR immediately and seek medical attention.
Can the use of Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency?
Yes, long-term use of Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR can contribute to Vitamin B12 deficiency by interfering with the absorption of Vitamin B12. A deficiency in Vitamin B12 may lead to anemia and nerve problems. These symptoms may include tingling sensations in hands and feet, weakness, urinary problems, changes in mental status, and difficulty maintaining balance (ataxia). If you experience any of these symptoms after using this medication, consult your doctor as they may suggest monitoring Vitamin B12 levels and prescribing a supplement if necessary.
What is the storage condition for Vriptan M 1000mg/20mg Tablet SR?
