How do you manage the weight gain associated with the use of Mahagaba-M OD Tablet SR?
Mahagaba-M OD Tablet SR can make you feel hungry, which might make you eat more, thereby increasing your chances of putting on weight.

If you maintain good eating habits and exercise regularly, you might not gain any weight.

Inform your doctor if you experience such episodes while you are taking this medicine.
What if I forget to take Mahagaba-M OD Tablet SR?

If you are not sure what to do, consult your doctor about how to manage a situation like this.
Will a higher than the recommended dose of Mahagaba-M OD Tablet SR be more effective?
