If you notice any of these symptoms, consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor may carry out various eye tests and then decide if Ydro 200mg Tablet needs to be discontinued.

Yes, you need to be careful while using HCQS if you have diabetes. HCQS can lower your blood glucose levels to dangerous levels, so much so that you may even lose consciousness(severe hypoglycemia).
