It also increases the body's response to insulin, a natural substance that controls the amount of glucose in the blood. Thereby, it helps control the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. In some cases, it may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite.

  • Avoid carbonated drinks: Avoid drinking carbonated beverages, such as soda or beer, which can worsen indigestion.
  • Manage stress: To alleviate indigestion, engage in stress-reducing activities like deep breathing exercises or meditation.
  • Consult a doctor if needed: If indigestion worsens or persists, consult a healthcare professional to adjust the medication regimen or explore alternative treatments.
