Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following: severe stomach pain, vomiting blood, black or bloody stools, difficulty breathing, rapid heart rate, significant swelling in your legs or ankles, worsening or uncontrolled diabetes symptoms, signs of infection (fever, chills, persistent cough), blurred vision, mood changes including unusual irritability or depression, severe headaches, muscle weakness, or easy bruising or bleeding.
Monitoring Your Condition
Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor as directed. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight is crucial. Report any new or worsening symptoms, even if they seem minor. Your doctor might adjust your dosage or prescribe additional medications to manage side effects. Don’t hesitate to discuss concerns about medication effects or potential interactions with other medications you’re taking.
Specific Dosage Concerns
If you miss a dose, contact your doctor for guidance; never double up on doses. If you experience unexpected side effects or the medication’s effects don’t seem to be improving your condition, schedule an appointment to discuss adjustments. Report any changes in your overall health to your physician.
