Overview Aliza M 80mg/500mg Tablet

Metformin/Glibenclamide 80mg/500mg tablets are classified as antidiabetic agents, combining two medications to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. This dual-action formulation helps regulate blood glucose levels. Administer this medication with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Dosage is determined by your physician and may be adjusted based on blood sugar monitoring. Continued use is crucial, even with controlled glucose levels, as abrupt cessation can elevate blood sugar, potentially causing kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. This medication is a component of a comprehensive treatment plan encompassing a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle choices significantly impact diabetes control. Common adverse effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors; constipation; and vomiting. Maintain regular mealtimes and carry a readily available fast-acting glucose source (e.g., sugary foods or juice) to counteract hypoglycemia. Alcohol consumption should be limited due to its potential to exacerbate low blood sugar. Additional side effects may include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain is a possibility. Contraindications include type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe hepatic or renal impairment. Prior heart conditions should be disclosed to your physician before initiating treatment. Consult your doctor before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Regular blood glucose monitoring and periodic blood tests to assess blood cell counts and liver function are recommended.

FAQs on Aliza M 80mg/500mg Tablet

Aliza M 80mg/500mg tablets combine gliclazide and metformin to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This treatment improves blood sugar control when combined with diet and exercise. Gliclazide stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin reduces liver glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity. This combination is unsuitable for type 1 diabetes.
Aliza M 80mg/500mg Tablets may cause common side effects such as hypoglycemia, altered taste, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, and upper respiratory tract infections. Rare but serious side effects, including lactic acidosis, are also possible. Prolonged use may result in vitamin B12 deficiency.
Aliza M 80mg/500mg Tablets can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), manifesting as nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heart rate, anxiety, or shakiness. This risk increases with missed meals, alcohol consumption, excessive exercise, or concurrent use of other diabetes medications. Regular blood sugar monitoring is crucial. Carry glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice to treat low blood sugar.
Aliza M 80mg/500mg Tablets can cause lactic acidosis, a serious medical emergency characterized by excessive blood lactic acid (also known as Metformin-Associated Lactic Acidosis or MALA). This rare side effect is more likely in patients with kidney disease, the elderly, or those who consume large amounts of alcohol. Symptoms include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, fatigue, cold extremities, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bradycardia. If you experience these, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.
Prolonged use of Aliza M 80mg/500mg tablets can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency by impairing its absorption in the stomach. This deficiency, if left untreated, may result in anemia, neurological issues such as tingling, numbness in the extremities, weakness, urinary problems, cognitive changes, and ataxia. To mitigate this risk, supplemental vitamin B12 intake at least annually is recommended by some researchers.
Patients allergic to Aliza M 80mg/500mg Tablet components or excipients, or those with moderate-to-severe kidney disease or metabolic acidosis (including diabetic ketoacidosis), should not use this medication.
