Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir
1. As per standard literature pain in stomach and flatulence/ gas problem are known side effects associated with use of vildagliptin or jalra tablets. But we must keep in mind that not all patients who use this medicine develop such symptoms.
2. However a number of agents are there in your prescription which can cause flatulence and pain abdomen. These include becozil Z, garlic pearls, Beetroot + carrot juice. In fact, any allopathic medicine can cause such symptoms.
3. Since you are having these symptoms only after starting the drug, a plausible association is there. However you must consult your physician before substituting this drug. At times these side effects disappear after some time of use. At times changing the brand proves to be beneficial. Your physician may also try another medicine from same group with similar benefits.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
