Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. More serious side effects, such as low blood sugar, can occur if the medication is not taken correctly or if it is combined with other medications that lower blood sugar.

Cukortabletta should be taken with food to minimize the risk of side effects. It is also important to monitor blood sugar levels regularly and report any changes to a healthcare provider. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to assess the effectiveness of the medication and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
