Side Effects of Metasens V 0.3 Tablet 10

Metasens V 0.3 Tablet 10 may have the following common side effects:

Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
Abdominal pain
Flatulence: A term for gas in your digestive system, which might cause discomfort or bloating.
Dyspepsia: Also known as indigestion that can cause discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Metasens V 0.3 Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

The Metasens V 0.3 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

Voglibose (0.3 mg): Classified as an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, voglibose acts on intestinal enzymes responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. By slowing down this process, it reduces and delays the absorption of glucose after a meal, thus lowering post-meal blood sugar levels.
Metformin (500 mg): As a biguanide class anti-diabetic agent, metformin primarily functions to decrease glucose production in the liver (a process known as gluconeogenesis). Furthermore, it improves insulin sensitivity which helps increase the uptake and utilisation of glucose in peripheral tissues while decreasing absorption of glucose from the intestine.

Pregnancy

It's not recommended to take Metasens V 0.3 Tablet 10 during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. If you're pregnant or planning a pregnancy, consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Avoid using Metasens V 0.3 Tablet 10 while breastfeeding as it is uncertain if the ingredients pass into breast milk. Talk with your doctor about potential risks and alternatives.

Alcohol

Alcohol may influence the effect of this medication on lactate metabolism. It's wise to limit alcohol consumption while taking this medicine.

Liver

If you have liver problems, proceed with caution when using this tablet. This medicine should be used with care in patients with hepatic impairment.

No specific precautions are required when driving or operating machinery while taking Metasens V 0.3 Tablet 10, but always stay alert to how you feel and consult a doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms.

Allergy

If you're allergic to metformin or voglibose, or any other ingredient in Metasens V 0.3 Tablet 10, avoid taking this medication. Always inform your doctor about your allergies before starting any new medication.

Children

Older Patients

Older patients might need to take Metasens V 0.3 Tablet 10 under medical supervision because they could be more susceptible to its side effects, particularly if they have liver or kidney issues.
