Xigduo (5mg/tab-1000mg/tab Tablets)

Xigduo can cause lactic acidosis, a rare but serious metabolic complication that can be fatal. Patients should be monitored for renal function before and during treatment, as the risk of lactic acidosis increases with renal impairment. Symptoms of lactic acidosis, such as malaise, muscle pain, and respiratory distress, require immediate medical attention.

If you have a high fever, take water pills (diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide), sweat excessively, have diarrhea, or vomit, you may suffer from dehydration and be at risk of lactic acidosis. In case of prolonged diarrhea or vomiting, stop taking this medication and contact your doctor immediately. Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration, unless directed otherwise by your doctor.

Stress (such as fever, infection, injury, or surgery) can make controlling blood sugar more difficult. As a result of these conditions or any illness, eating less or not being able to eat can lead to a high ketone level while taking this medication. It may be necessary to change your treatment plan, to change your medication, or to test your blood sugar or ketones. Consult your doctor if these changes are required.

Dosages are determined by your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Tell your doctor and pharmacist about all products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products). You may be instructed by your doctor to start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase it to reduce the risk of side effects (such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting). Make sure you follow your doctor’s instructions.

For best results, take this medication regularly. Take it every day at the same time to help you remember.

Consult your doctor if your condition does not improve or worsens (your blood sugar is too high or low).

You may experience headaches, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, runny noses, and sore throats. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if any of these effects persist or worsen. Tell your doctor right away if stomach symptoms return after taking the same dose for several days or weeks. Lactic acidosis may cause stomach symptoms after the first few days of treatment.

Your stool may contain an empty tablet shell. Due to the fact that the medication has already been absorbed by your body, this effect is harmless.

Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is not usually caused by this medication. The drug may cause low blood sugar if you take it with other diabetes medications, if you do not eat enough calories, or if you exercise excessively. Consider lowering the dose of your other diabetes medication(s) with your doctor or pharmacist. Sweating, shaking, fast heartbeat, hunger, blurred vision, dizziness, or tingling hands/feet are all signs of low blood sugar. To treat low blood sugar, it is a good habit to carry glucose tablets or gel. You can quickly raise your blood sugar if you don’t have these reliable forms of glucose by eating table sugar, honey, or candy, or drinking fruit juice or non-diet soda. You should notify your doctor right away if you have a reaction to this product. Maintain a regular meal schedule and do not skip meals to prevent low blood sugar. You should consult your doctor or pharmacist if you miss a meal.

Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) is characterized by thirst, increased urination, confusion, drowsiness, flushing, rapid breathing, and fruity breath odor.

If you are taking any diabetic medications such as insulin, please ensure you notify your healthcare professional.

Tell your doctor right away if you experience any symptoms of dehydration, including urinating less frequently than usual, unusual dry mouth/thirst, fast heartbeat, or dizziness/lightheadedness/fainting. When rising from a sitting or lying position, get up slowly to reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness.
