Discuss with your doctor to determine if it's right for you.

Question 2

Can the use of GLYTRIN MET 20/500MG TABLET 10'S lead to hypoglycemia?

Accepted Answer

The use of GLYTRIN MET 20/500MG TABLET 10'S is generally not associated with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), as they work to lower blood sugar levels without promoting excessive insulin secretion. However, hypoglycemia can occur in certain circumstances, such as when taking these medications with other diabetes medications or skipping meals. It's important to monitor blood sugar levels and discuss any concerns with your doctor.

Question 3

Can the use of GLYTRIN MET 20/500MG TABLET 10'S cause nausea and vomiting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the use of GLYTRIN MET 20/500MG TABLET 10'S can cause nausea and vomiting as common side effects. These symptoms are usually mild and resolve on their own or with dose adjustments. If nausea and vomiting are persistent or severe, it's important to discuss with your doctor to determine the best course of action.

Question 4

Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of GLYTRIN MET 20/500MG TABLET 10'S?

Accepted Answer

The use of GLYTRIN MET 20/500MG TABLET 10'S is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to either medication. METFORMIN is also contraindicated in patients with severe kidney or liver disease, dehydration, or who are at risk for lactic acidosis. Teneligliptin is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. It's important to discuss any medical history with your doctor before taking these medications.

Question 5

Can the use of GLYTRIN MET 20/500MG TABLET 10'S cause lactic acidosis?

Accepted Answer

METFORMIN has a rare but serious side effect called lactic acidosis, which occurs when there is an accumulation of lactic acid in the blood. While Teneligliptin is not associated with lactic acidosis, the risk may be increased when it is used in combination with METFORMIN, especially in patients with kidney or liver problems.

Question 6

Can the use of GLYTRIN MET 20/500MG TABLET 10'S lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency?

Accepted Answer

There is some evidence to suggest that long-term use of METFORMIN may lead to a decreased absorption of vitamin B12 in the body, which could potentially lead to deficiency. However, there is no evidence to suggest that Teneligliptin has any effect on vitamin B12 levels. Patients taking GLYTRIN MET 20/500MG TABLET 10'S  should have their vitamin B12 levels monitored regularly and consider taking a supplement if necessary. It's important to discuss any concerns with your doctor.
