Taking Jalra For Uncontrolled Blood Sugar Level. Have Loose Motion. Should I Continue Jalra Or Take Other Medicine?
I am 46 years of age and having problems of uncontrolled blood sugar levels nearing range 250-300. I am taking Jalra 50 mg but I constantly face problems of loose motions. The earlier medicines prescribed to me before Jalra used to swell my body but this is not happening since I am taking Jalra, although I face loose motion problems. I am confused. Should I continue using Jalra or ask my doctor to change prescription. Except the loose motions problems Jalra has proved effective to me. Please advice. Regards Dinesh

Hi, thanks for using health care magic
Loose stool is not a common side effect of jalra. You may want to consider ,if possible revisiting your doctor for an assessment to make sure that it is the medication that is resulting in your symptoms.
If no other cause is found, and the symptoms persist or worsen then you and your doctor may consider stopping the medication to determine if it is indeed the cause for the loose stool.
If it is then an alternative may be considered.
I hope this helps
