Hello dear,

Vertin is pharmacologically betahistine, a vestibular sedative used for management of vertigo.
Headache is a known side effect of this medication.

Glycomet is pharmacologically metformin, an oral anti diabetic drug, also used in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome. Side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, Vit B12 deficiency, lactic acidosis, etc.

So, kindly consult your treating physician & discuss regarding this.
The dosages of the medication needs to be adjusted depending up on the effect vs side-effect profile.

Wishing you a good health
Take care
