The occurrence of side effects after the use of medications does not always mean that therapy must be discontinued. In case the patient experiences side effects of medications, especially when they are bothersome, it is recommended to consult the doctor again. It is also possible to take advantage of teleconsultation via e.g. the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

The side effects of Rybelsus usually appear at the beginning of treatment and go away on their own. We wrote more in the opinion:
Side effects of Slowmet should also be self-limiting.
I encourage you to report the occurrence of adverse drug reactions. Reporting adverse drug reactions allows you to increase control over the medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
