What are the side effects of normet tablet?
Patient: 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? Doctor: 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
