Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
The symptom that you experienced may be related to one of the component of the tablet glyxambr. These symptoms will subside by 7 to 10 days of stoppage and I'd persists, I would suggest you to see consulting physician for examination.

I also advice you to report to your health care provider immediately, in case of any adverse effect when a drug is prescribed.
