Hypoglycemia symptoms include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety or shakiness. These symptoms are more pronounced if meals are missed or delayed, alcohol is consumed, excessive exercise occurs, or other antidiabetic medications are taken concurrently. Regular blood sugar monitoring is crucial. Carrying glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice is advised.
Nausea and vomiting are possible side effects of Altavid M 500mg/50mg Tablet. If vomiting occurs, sip small amounts of water or other fluids frequently.

This rare side effect necessitates avoiding the medication in patients with kidney disease, the elderly, or those consuming significant alcohol. Symptoms include muscle pain/weakness, dizziness, fatigue, cold extremities, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bradycardia. If experienced, discontinue Altavid M 500mg/50mg Tablet and seek immediate medical attention.
Prolonged use of Altavid M 500mg/50mg Tablets can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency by hindering its absorption in the stomach. This deficiency, if left untreated, may result in anemia and neurological complications.
