What Are The Side Effects Of Normet Tablet?
I started on NORMET tablets due to an intestinal disturbance and mild fever. Have had two doses so far. Am experiencing a lot of discomfort and tightness just below the sternum. Have had antacids and donstal but does not seem to give any relief. Is it a side effect of normet or something else?

Hi,
Common side effects of normet include stomach upset, abdominal cramps, metallic taste, heartburn, and flatulence.
Based on the history you seem to have developed gastritis apparently caused by this medicine.
I suggest you to take a proton pump inhibitor for the treatment of gastritis however if the symptoms persist consult your doctor to rule out other causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
