Can I take 150 and Zigduo together?

Why this happens

Aspirin can slightly lower blood sugar levels on its own, which adds to the effect of the diabetes medicines in Xigduo. Additionally, both aspirin and the metformin in Xigduo can affect how your kidneys work and how acid is processed in the body, which can occasionally lead to a buildup of metformin or acid in the blood.

You should speak to your doctor before taking these together. If your doctor has prescribed both, monitor your blood sugar levels closely. Learn to recognise signs of low blood sugar (such as sweating, shakiness, and hunger) and lactic acidosis (such as unusual muscle pain, trouble breathing, or feeling very weak). It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking these medicines, as alcohol increases the risk of both low blood sugar and lactic acidosis.
