Overview Aliza M 80mg/500mg Tablet

Metformin/glimepiride 80mg/500mg tablets are classified as antidiabetic medications. This dual-drug formulation treats type 2 diabetes in adults by managing blood glucose levels. Administer this medication with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal effectiveness. Dosage is determined by your physician and may be adjusted based on your blood sugar response. Continuous use is crucial; discontinuation without medical consultation can elevate blood sugar, risking kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. This medication complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan encompassing diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle choices significantly influence diabetes control. Common side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar – characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors), constipation, and nausea. Regular meals and readily available glucose sources (e.g., sugary snacks, juice) are essential to manage hypoglycemia. Alcohol consumption should be limited due to its potential to exacerbate low blood sugar. Other possible side effects include altered taste, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. This medication is contraindicated for type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe hepatic or renal impairment. Prior heart disease should be disclosed to your physician before commencing treatment. Pregnant or lactating individuals require medical consultation prior to use. Regular blood glucose monitoring and potential blood tests (to assess blood cell counts and liver function) are necessary.
