Yes, Tenlicure M 500 Tablet ER is generally safe when used for the prescribed duration and dosage as advised by your doctor. However, you may experience common side effects like nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, nasal congestion, sore throat, respiratory tract infection, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level). Hypoglycemia can occur more frequently in patients who take Tenlicure M 500 Tablet ER along with insulin or Sulfonylurea. If you experience persistent problems while taking this medication, inform your doctor immediately.
Can Tenlicure M 500 Tablet ER cause hypoglycemia?
While Tenlicure M 500 Tablet ER generally does not cause hypoglycemia on its own, it can occur if there is insufficient calorie intake while taking the medication. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate, and feelings of anxiety or shakiness. These symptoms are more likely to be noticed if you miss meals, drink alcohol excessively, over-exercise, or take any other antidiabetic medications simultaneously. Therefore, regular blood sugar level monitoring is essential. It's advisable to carry glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice with you at all times.
Can Tenlicure M 500 Tablet ER cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, Tenlicure M 500 Tablet ER can potentially lead to nausea and vomiting. If you experience vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids in small, frequent sips.

Can Tenlicure M 500 Tablet ER cause lactic acidosis?
Yes, Tenlicure M 500 Tablet ER can potentially lead to lactic acidosis, which is also known as MALA (Metformin-associated lactic acidosis). This occurs due to increased levels of lactic acid in the blood. It's a rare side effect associated with metformin use and is avoided in patients with underlying kidney problems, elderly individuals, or those who consume large quantities of alcohol. Symptoms of lactic acidosis may include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, tiredness, feeling cold in the arms and legs, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or a slow heart rate.
