It is crucial to follow your doctor's prescribed dosage instructions for S FILM STRIP or any medication.

It is better to consult your doctor before taking S FILM STRIP if you are diabetic. Certainly, if recommended by your physician, the use of S FILM STRIP is considered safe for individuals with diabetes.
Can S FILM STRIP decrease your blood pressure?
S FILM STRIP has the property of relaxing the smooth muscle of the blood vessels and widening them, which can cause a fall in blood pressure (hypotension). Therefore, avoid concomitant use of S FILM STRIP and vasodilators and other blood pressure-lowering medicines while taking S FILM STRIP as a precaution.
