Yes, long-term use of Wonride M Tablet SR can potentially cause a depletion in vitamin B12 levels. It impacts vitamin B12 absorption from the stomach. If not properly addressed, this deficiency could lead to anemia and nerve problems, including tingling sensations or numbness in hands and feet.

To prevent potential complications, individuals may consider supplementing with vitamin B12 from external sources at least once a year.

Yes, Wonride M Tablet SR can contribute to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level). Symptoms include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, a rapid heart rate, and feelings of anxiety or shakiness. It's more likely to occur if you miss meals, consume alcohol, over-exercise, or use other antidiabetic medications alongside it. Regular blood sugar monitoring is crucial to stay informed about your condition. It's recommended to always carry a source of quick-acting sugars like glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice for immediate relief.
Is it safe to consume alcohol when taking Wonride M Tablet SR?
No, combining Wonride M Tablet SR with alcohol is not recommended as it can lower blood sugar levels and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Moreover, it might exacerbate lactic acidosis.
