Can a patient who has had diabetes for 15 years safely receive the COVID-19 vaccine while taking Bioclaz, Zucator, Zomelis, Starvos, Mylacobal, and Thyrox, will these medications cause any side effects with the vaccine, and is Starvos a blood thinner?
It is safe and highly recommended for you to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Diabetes actually makes vaccination crucial for your protection. Your medications?including Bioclaz (gliclazide), Zucator, Zomelis (vildagliptin), Mylacobal (methylcobalamin), and Thyrox (levothyroxine)?will not interact with the vaccine or increase side effects. You may experience mild, normal vaccine reactions like a sore arm or low fever. To answer your question, Starvos (voglibose) is an antidiabetic medication to control blood sugar, not a blood thinner. It is perfectly safe to continue all your medications as prescribed.
