FAQs on Increten M 500mg/20mg Tablet

Increten M 500mg/20mg Tablet is safe when used as directed by your doctor. However, even with proper use, side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, nasal congestion, sore throat, respiratory infection, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) may occur. Hypoglycemia is more likely if you're also taking insulin or sulfonylurea. Report any persistent side effects to your doctor.
Increten M 500mg/20mg Tablets rarely cause hypoglycemia independently, but low blood sugar can result from inadequate caloric intake while using this medication. Hypoglycemia symptoms include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heart rate, anxiety, and shakiness. These symptoms are more pronounced if meals are skipped or delayed, alcohol is consumed, excessive exercise is undertaken, or other antidiabetic medications are used concurrently. Regular blood glucose monitoring is therefore crucial. Always keep glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice readily available.
Nausea and vomiting are possible side effects of Increten M 500mg/20mg Tablet. If vomiting occurs, sip small amounts of water or other fluids frequently. Persistent vomiting or signs of dehydration (dark, strong-smelling urine, infrequent urination) require immediate medical attention. Do not take other medications without your doctor's approval.
Increten M 500mg/20mg Tablets are contraindicated in patients with allergies to any ingredient or excipient. This medication should also be avoided by those with severe kidney or liver impairment, congestive heart failure, lactic acidosis, or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Increten M 500mg/20mg Tablets can cause lactic acidosis (MALA, or Metformin-associated lactic acidosis), a rare but serious side effect involving elevated blood lactic acid. This is why the medication is avoided in individuals with kidney disease, the elderly, or those who consume excessive alcohol. Symptoms may include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, fatigue, cold extremities, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or bradycardia. If you experience any of these, discontinue use and contact your doctor immediately.
Prolonged use of Increten M 500mg/20mg Tablets can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency by hindering its absorption in the stomach. This deficiency may result in anemia, neurological issues such as tingling, numbness in extremities, weakness, urinary problems, cognitive changes, and balance difficulties (ataxia). If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your doctor for B12 level monitoring and potential supplementation.
