Carry a sugary snack with you to treat low blood sugar if it occurs. Other common side effects include headaches, dizziness, and constipation. Inform your doctor about any plans for pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding. Closely follow your doctor's instructions and maintain a healthy lifestyle to effectively manage your diabetes with Gzide Xr Tablet.
