Overview Exermet GM 502 Tablet PR

DiaBeta-Duo 502 tablets are antidiabetic medications combining two drugs to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. They regulate blood glucose levels. Always take DiaBeta-Duo 502 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 with controlled blood sugar; abrupt cessation, without physician consultation, can elevate blood glucose, risking kidney complications, vision loss, nerve damage, and limb loss. This medication is one component of a comprehensive diabetes management plan encompassing diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle significantly impacts 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 counteract them with readily available glucose sources (e.g., sugary foods or juice). Alcohol increases hypoglycemia risk and should be avoided. Other possible 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/liver disease. Inform your doctor of any history of heart disease before commencing treatment; it may be unsuitable. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their physician prior to use. Regular blood glucose monitoring is essential; your doctor may also order blood tests to track blood cell counts and liver function.

If you experience these, discontinue Exermet GM 502 Tablet PR and seek immediate medical attention.
Exermet GM 502 Tablet PR combines glimepiride and metformin to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in adults. It enhances blood glucose control when used with diet and exercise. Glimepiride stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin reduces liver glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity. This combination is unsuitable for type 1 DM.
Exermet GM 502 Tablet PR may cause common side effects such as low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), altered taste, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, and headache. Rare but serious side effects include lactic acidosis. Prolonged use can result in vitamin B12 deficiency.

This deficiency, if left untreated, may result in anemia, nerve damage (manifested as tingling, numbness in extremities, weakness), urinary issues, cognitive changes, and balance problems (ataxia). To mitigate this risk, annual supplemental vitamin B12 is recommended by some researchers.
Exermet GM 502 Tablet PR can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), manifesting as nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, or shakiness.
