Overview Apriglim-MV 2 Tablet SR

Glimepiride-Metformin extended-release tablets are antidiabetic medications used in adults with type 2 diabetes. This combination therapy helps manage blood glucose. Administer this medication with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Dosage is determined by your physician and may adjust based on blood sugar responses. Continuous use is crucial, even with controlled blood sugar; abrupt cessation can elevate glucose, risking complications like kidney issues, vision loss, neuropathy, and limb loss. Remember, this medication complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan involving diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle significantly influences diabetes control. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a common side effect; learn to recognize symptoms (sweating, dizziness, headache, tremors) and manage them with readily available glucose sources (sugary foods, juice). Alcohol increases hypoglycemia risk and should be avoided. Other potential side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, swelling, blurred vision, bone fractures, upper respiratory infections, and weight gain. This medication is contraindicated in type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe kidney or liver disease. Disclose any history of heart disease to your doctor before starting this medication; pregnancy or breastfeeding requires medical consultation. Regular blood glucose monitoring and potential blood tests (blood cell counts, liver function) are recommended by your physician.
