Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to side effects of Macrobit. Another possible side effect is stomach pain.

I suggest using Buscopan and 10 mg three tablets a day. I also recommend to drink liquids and eat a fiber-rich diet.

If the symptoms continue I suggest taking an alternative medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
