Overview Azaglide M XR 60mg/500mg Tablet

Diabexe Duo XR 60mg/500mg tablets are antidiabetic medications combining two drugs to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. This formulation aids in blood glucose regulation. Diabexe Duo XR should be ingested with meals, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Dosage is determined by your physician and may be adjusted based on your blood sugar response. Continued use is crucial, even with controlled blood sugar, as abrupt cessation can elevate glucose levels, potentially leading to complications like kidney impairment, vision loss, 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 impact diabetes control. Common side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors; constipation, and vomiting. Be prepared to treat hypoglycemia with readily available glucose sources, such as sweets or juice. Regular meals are essential. Alcohol consumption should be minimized due to increased hypoglycemia risk. Other potential side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain is also possible. This medication is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Individuals with a history of heart disease should inform their physician before commencing treatment. Its suitability for pregnant or breastfeeding women requires medical consultation. Regular blood glucose monitoring and periodic blood tests to assess blood cell counts and liver function are recommended.

FAQs on Azaglide M XR 60mg/500mg Tablet

Azaglide M XR 60mg/500mg tablets combine gliclazide and metformin to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This combination improves blood glucose control when used with diet and exercise. Gliclazide stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin reduces liver glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity. It is not suitable for type 1 diabetes.
Azaglide M XR 60mg/500mg tablets may cause common side effects such as hypoglycemia, taste changes, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Rare but serious side effects, including lactic acidosis, are also possible. Prolonged use may result in vitamin B12 deficiency.
Azaglide M XR 60mg/500mg Tablets can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), manifesting as nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, 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 for emergencies.
Azaglide M XR 60mg/500mg Tablets can cause lactic acidosis (MALA—Metformin-associated lactic acidosis), a serious medical emergency resulting from excessive blood lactic acid. This rare side effect is preventable by avoiding use in patients with kidney disease, the elderly, or those consuming significant 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 Azaglide M XR 60mg/500mg Tablet use can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency by hindering its stomach absorption. This deficiency, if left untreated, may result in anemia, nerve damage (manifesting as tingling, numbness in extremities, weakness, and gait instability), urinary issues, and cognitive changes. To mitigate this risk, annual supplemental vitamin B12 is recommended by some researchers.
Patients with known allergies to Azaglide M XR 60mg/500mg Tablet components or excipients, or those with moderate to severe kidney disease or metabolic acidosis (including diabetic ketoacidosis), should not use this medication.
