DEAR SIR/MADAM
GLUCOBAY CONTAINS ACARBOSE AND METFORIN WHICH ACARBOSE CAUSES SOME TIMES VERTIGO
SECONDLY GLYNASE XL ALSO KNOWN TO CAUSE LOW BLOOD SUGARS, WHICH CAUSE OCCASIONAL VERTIGO
ITS BETTER YOU TAKE METFORMIN ALONE RATHER THAN TAKING ACARBOSE WITH IT AND THEN SEE FOR SOME DAYS
HOPE YOUR PROBLEM GETS SOLVED.
THANKS
