Overview Digo MN 80mg/500mg Tablet

Metformin/Glimepiride 80mg/500mg tablets are classified as antidiabetic agents, combining two medications to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. This combination helps regulate blood glucose levels. These tablets should be taken with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal effectiveness. Dosage is determined by your physician and may be adjusted based on your blood sugar response. Continuous use is crucial, even with controlled blood sugar, as abrupt cessation can elevate glucose levels, increasing the risk of kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. This medication is part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan including 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. Always carry a fast-acting sugar source to counteract hypoglycemia. Regular meals are also essential. Alcohol consumption should be limited 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 for individuals with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe hepatic or renal impairment. Prior heart disease should be disclosed to your physician before commencing treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals require medical consultation before use. Regular blood glucose monitoring and periodic blood tests to assess blood cell counts and liver function are recommended by your doctor.

Digo MN 80mg/500mg tablets combine gliclazide and metformin to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This treatment improves blood glucose control when combined with diet and exercise. Gliclazide stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin reduces liver glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity. This combination is unsuitable for type 1 diabetes.
Digo MN 80mg/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.
Digo MN 80mg/500mg Tablets can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), leading to symptoms like nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and shakiness or anxiety.
