TELNISCOT M 1000MG TABLET may cause various side effects, both common and less common. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach upset (abdominal pain), loss of appetite, a metallic taste in the mouth, and gas (flatulence). You might also experience dizziness, lightheadedness (especially when standing up quickly), fatigue, back pain, muscle cramps, coughing, sinus pain, a sore throat, or headache. While less common, it's important to be aware of more significant side effects such as low blood pressure (hypotension), which can cause fainting, or high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) that may affect heart rhythm. A rare but serious side effect is lactic acidosis, indicated by unusual muscle pain, trouble breathing, severe stomach pain, unusual tiredness, dizziness, feeling cold, or a slow/irregular heartbeat – seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Other important considerations include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), particularly if also taking other diabetes medications, potential vitamin B12 deficiency with long-term use, swelling (edema) in hands, ankles, or feet, and rare allergic reactions like rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing. Always consult your doctor if any side effect is severe or persistent.

Allergies
UnsafeTelniscot M 1000mg Tablet is unsafe if you have a known allergy to any of its ingredients.
TELNISCOT M 1000MG TABLET is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps to lower high blood sugar levels, especially when diet and exercise alone are not enough. It can be used alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic medications.
The active ingredient in TELNISCOT M 1000MG TABLET is Metformin Hydrochloride, a medication belonging to the biguanide class, used to control high blood sugar.
Metformin, the active ingredient, works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver, decreasing the absorption of glucose from the intestine, and increasing the sensitivity of body cells to insulin, which helps the body use insulin more effectively.
It is usually taken once or twice daily with meals to reduce stomach upset. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet; swallow it whole.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, and a metallic taste in the mouth. These usually lessen over time. If they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
It is crucial to inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions. Certain medications, like diuretics, corticosteroids, and some blood pressure medicines, may interact with Metformin.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Metformin is generally considered safer than insulin for managing gestational diabetes and is often continued for type 2 diabetes during pregnancy under strict medical supervision. However, always consult your doctor. It can pass into breast milk, so discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor before breastfeeding.
TELNISCOT M 1000MG TABLET is contraindicated in patients with severe kidney disease, liver disease, severe heart failure, or a history of lactic acidosis. It should also be temporarily stopped before certain medical procedures involving iodinated contrast media.
An overdose of Metformin can lead to severe lactic acidosis, a medical emergency. Symptoms include extreme weakness, muscle pain, unusual drowsiness, trouble breathing, stomach pain, dizziness, lightheadedness, and irregular heartbeat. Seek immediate medical attention if you suspect an overdose.
Store TELNISCOT M 1000MG TABLET at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not store it in the bathroom.
Yes, weight loss is a common side effect of Metformin, particularly at the beginning of treatment. This is often seen as a beneficial effect for many patients with type 2 diabetes who are overweight or obese.
While TELNISCOT M 1000MG TABLET helps manage blood sugar, it works best when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Your doctor or a dietitian can provide specific dietary recommendations tailored to your condition.
Lactic acidosis is a rare but serious side effect of Metformin. It occurs when there is a build-up of lactic acid in the blood. Symptoms include extreme fatigue, muscle pain, difficulty breathing, stomach pain, dizziness, and slow heart rate. It is more common in patients with kidney problems, liver problems, or severe heart failure.
It is generally advised to limit or avoid alcohol consumption while taking Metformin, as alcohol can increase the risk of lactic acidosis and may also affect blood sugar levels. Discuss this with your doctor.
Yes, Metformin Hydrochloride is a widely used drug, and many pharmaceutical companies manufacture it under various brand names, such as Glycomet, Glyciphage, Obimet, and Gluconorm, among others. The active ingredient remains the same.
