Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 may have the following common side effects:

Diarrhoea
Nausea
Vomiting
Headache
Upper respiratory tract infection: This refers to infections affecting your nose, sinuses, and throat area.
Gas and bloating: This includes feelings of fullness and discomfort in your stomach area due to excess gas.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Nausea and vomiting: Try taking Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 with meals to reduce stomach upset.
Gas and bloating: Taking this medicine with food rather than on an empty stomach may help reduce these digestive symptoms.

Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

Metformin (500 mg): This belongs to the biguanide class of antidiabetic medicines. It decreases glucose production in your liver, reduces intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation.
Sitagliptin (50 mg): This is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It works by increasing the levels of incretins, which are natural substances in your body that stimulate insulin release from the pancreas after meals and reduce liver glucose production.

Pregnancy

Take caution before using Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. A doctor's consultation is advised to weigh out the benefits and risks to the developing foetus.

Breastfeeding

Metformin passes into breast milk, and it is not fully known how sitagliptin might affect your baby. Discuss with your doctor before using Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 while nursing.

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol while taking Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10. Drinking alcohol with this medicine may increase your risk of developing lactic acidosis (a dangerous build-up of acid in your blood) and can lower your blood sugar to unsafe levels.

Liver

If you have liver problems or a history of liver disease, discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine. Your doctor may need to assess if this medicine is suitable for you.

Kidney

A doctor's consultation is advised before using Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 if you have a history of kidney problems. Your doctor may need to check your kidney function before and during treatment, as this medicine is removed from your body through the kidneys.

Using Machines & Driving

You may drive and use machines while taking Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 unless you experience symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). If you feel dizzy, weak, or confused, avoid driving or operating machinery until you feel better.

Allergy

If you have any allergies, especially to metformin or sitagliptin, consult your doctor before taking Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10. Stop taking this medicine and seek immediate medical help if you develop a rash, swelling of the face/throat, or breathing difficulties.

Children

A doctor's consultation is advised before giving Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 to children under 18 years of age.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 under medical supervision, as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor may recommend more frequent kidney function tests, as kidney problems are more common in older adults.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 can interact with the following medicines:

Cationic medicines: Amiloride, digoxin, and trimethoprim may affect how metformin is removed from your body, potentially changing how well Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 works.
Blood thinners: When taking warfarin with Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10, your blood's clotting ability (measured as INR) may increase, requiring more frequent blood tests.
Insulin medications: Using Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 alongside insulin medicines may increase your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia).
Sulfonylureas: Medicines like glimepiride or gliclazide, when combined with Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10, may increase the risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar).

Drug-Disease Interactions

Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 can interact with the following diseases:

Kidney disease: If you have kidney problems, your body may not remove Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 properly, increasing the risk of side effects.
Liver disease: Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 should be used with doctor consultation if you have liver problems, as it may increase the risk of lactic acidosis.
Pancreatitis: If you have a history of pancreas inflammation, Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 may potentially worsen this condition.
Vitamin B12 deficiency: Long-term use of Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 may reduce vitamin B12 absorption in your body.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may change based on individual factors such as the severity of your condition and response to treatment. Always follow the prescribed dosage and never exceed it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

Taking too much Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10 may cause stomach discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, and weakness. You might also experience unusual drowsiness, rapid breathing, and abdominal pain. Contact your doctor if you suspect an overdose has occurred.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take Qsita M Sr 50/500 Tablet 10, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and resume your regular schedule. Never take a double dose to make up for the missed one.
