Overview Claz M OD 60mg/500mg Tablet

Diabetic medication, Claz M OD 60mg/500mg, combines two agents to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. This dual-action tablet regulates blood glucose. Administer with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Dosage is individualized by your physician and may be adjusted based on blood sugar monitoring. Continued use is crucial, even with controlled blood sugar, as abrupt cessation can lead to hyperglycemia and potentially severe complications including renal impairment, vision loss, neuropathy, and limb amputation. This medication complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan including diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle modifications are integral to effective diabetes control. Common side effects include hypoglycemia (characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors), constipation, and nausea. Recognize these symptoms and be prepared to treat hypoglycemia with a rapid-acting glucose source (e.g., sugary foods or juice). Alcohol consumption should be limited due to its potential to exacerbate hypoglycemia. Additional side effects can encompass altered taste perception, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain is also a possibility. This medication is contraindicated in type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe hepatic or renal impairment. Individuals with a history of heart disease should inform their physician before commencing treatment. Pregnant or lactating women require medical consultation prior to use. Regular blood glucose monitoring, as well as periodic blood tests to assess blood cell counts and liver function, are recommended.

FAQs on Claz M OD 60mg/500mg Tablet

Claz M OD 60mg/500mg tablets combine gliclazide and metformin to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in adults. This combination improves blood glucose control when used with a healthy diet and exercise. Gliclazide stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin reduces liver glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity. It's not suitable for treating type 1 DM.
Claz M OD 60mg/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.
Claz M OD 60mg/500mg Tablets can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), characterized by nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety or shakiness.

Carry glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice for emergencies.
Claz M OD 60mg/500mg Tablets can cause lactic acidosis, a serious, potentially life-threatening condition characterized by excessive blood lactic acid (also known as Metformin-Associated Lactic Acidosis or MALA).

If you experience these, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.

To mitigate this risk, annual supplemental vitamin B12 is recommended by some researchers.
