Brief Answer:
Can infrequently increase blood sugar level

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM

Your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.

It may infrequently make your blood sugar level rise, which can cause or worsen diabetes. I would suggest you to see consulting doctor if you develop symptoms of high blood sugar, such as increased thirst and urination.

Hope this information helped.
Take care
