Overview Canpride M 1mg/500mg Tablet SR

Diabetol Duo 1mg/500mg Extended-Release Tablets are antidiabetic medications combining two active ingredients to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. This treatment helps regulate blood glucose levels. Diabetol Duo should be taken with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal effectiveness. Dosage is determined by your physician and may adjust based on your blood sugar response. Continue this medication even if feeling well or achieving good glucose control; discontinuation without medical advice can elevate blood sugar, potentially leading to kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. This medication complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan including diet, exercise, and weight management as recommended by your doctor. Lifestyle choices significantly influence diabetes control. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a common side effect. Learn to recognize symptoms like sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors, and know how to treat them. Maintain regular meals and carry a fast-acting glucose source. Alcohol increases hypoglycemia risk and should be avoided. Other potential side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. Do not use if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Inform your doctor of any heart history before starting this medication; it may be unsuitable. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their physician. Regular blood glucose monitoring is crucial, and your doctor may order blood tests to assess blood cell counts and liver function.
