Thank you user for your query.
Actually the drug nova 75 which you are taking contains pregabalin which is an anticonvulsant which is also being used in case of neuropathic pain occurring in patients of diabetes. The giddiness that you are complaining is one of the side effects of pregabalin, along with nausea, weight changes and dry mouth.
Also get your blood sugar done as hypoglycemia also sometimes causes giddiness.
Since how long you have been taking these medications?
All I want to suggest is to try contacting the physician whose treatment you are taking. As he might discontinue the medication or change the treatment even.
god bless
