Can Supraglip-M Forte Tablet SR lead to hypoglycemia?

However, it could occur if you are not taking sufficient calories and have insufficient intake of food or beverages. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate, and feeling anxious or shaky. These symptoms are more likely to be noticed if you miss meals, drink alcohol excessively, over-exercise, or take any other antidiabetic medications along with it. Regular blood sugar monitoring is recommended. It is advisable to carry glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice with you at all times.

Yes, Supraglip-M Forte Tablet SR can cause nausea and vomiting. If you experience vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips.
