Overview Flisur 60mg/500mg Tablet ER

Diabex Duo 60mg/500mg Extended-Release tablets are classified as antidiabetic medications. This dual-action formulation treats type 2 diabetes in adults by regulating blood glucose. Diabex Duo should be ingested with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Dosage is determined and adjusted by your physician based on your blood sugar response. Continued use is vital, even with controlled blood sugar, as abrupt cessation can lead to elevated glucose levels, increasing the risk of complications including nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, and peripheral vascular disease. This medication is part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan encompassing diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle choices significantly influence diabetes control. Common side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors; constipation; and vomiting. Maintaining regular meals and carrying a rapid-acting glucose source (e.g., sugary snacks or juice) is crucial for hypoglycemia management. Alcohol consumption should be minimized due to its potential to exacerbate hypoglycemia. Additional potential side effects include altered taste perception, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, cephalalgia, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur in some individuals. This medication is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe hepatic or renal impairment. Individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease should inform their physician before commencing treatment. Pregnant or lactating women require medical consultation prior to use. Regular blood glucose monitoring is essential, and your doctor may order blood tests to assess blood cell counts and liver function.
