Overview Dapazide M 30mg/500mg Tablet

Metformin/Glibenclamide 30mg/500mg tablets are classified as antidiabetic medications. This dual-action 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 efficacy. Dosage is determined 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 elevated glucose, potentially causing kidney damage, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. This medication complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan encompassing a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management as recommended by your doctor. Lifestyle choices are integral to diabetes control. Common side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors; constipation; and vomiting. Carry a fast-acting glucose source (e.g., sugary food or juice) to counter hypoglycemia, and maintain regular mealtimes. Alcohol consumption should be minimized due to its potential to exacerbate hypoglycemia. Additional possible side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. This medication is contraindicated in 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 women require medical consultation before use. Regular blood glucose monitoring and periodic blood tests (blood counts and liver function) are recommended by your doctor.
