Experiencing side effects while taking medication is common, but it is essential to stay calm. Typically, these effects subside as your body adjusts to the medication.

Typical Duralast 30 tablet side effects include

• Dizziness
• Headache
• Nausea
• Diarrhoea
• Dry mouth
• Indigestion

Managing Side Effects

If the side effects persist or become severe, the following steps can help manage them:

• Dizziness: Avoid activities that require mental alertness, such as driving or operating heavy machinery, until you feel better. Get up slowly from a sitting or lying position to prevent a sudden drop in blood pressure.
• Headache: Over-the-counter painkillers can help relieve mild to moderate headaches. Resting in a quiet, dark room and applying a cool compress to your forehead may relieve you.
• Nausea: Eating small, frequent meals and avoiding spicy or fatty foods can help alleviate nausea. Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated can also be helpful. Ginger tea or ginger supplements may provide relief.
• Diarrhoea: Drinking plenty of fluids to stay hydrated is crucial if you experience diarrhoea. Over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medications may help control diarrhoea. Avoid spicy and fatty foods until your symptoms improve.
• Dry mouth: Sipping water or sucking on ice chips can help moisten your mouth and alleviate dryness. Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine, which can worsen dry mouth. Over-the-counter saliva substitutes or mouthwashes may also be helpful.
• Indigestion: Eating small, frequent meals and avoiding spicy or fatty foods can help alleviate indigestion. Over-the-counter antacids can help relieve stomach acid. If indigestion persists, talk to your doctor about prescription medications.
