Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Certain medications can interact with Actoplus Met, affecting its efficacy or causing adverse effects.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding require careful consideration. Consult your doctor before taking Actoplus Met if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Be aware of potential side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Report any persistent or severe side effects to your healthcare provider.
