Overview Flisur M 60mg/500mg Tablet

Diabetic patients often use the dual-action medication, Gluco-Met 60mg/500mg tablets, classified as an anti-diabetic agent. This formulation combines two active ingredients to manage type 2 diabetes in adults, effectively regulating blood glucose. Gluco-Met 60mg/500mg tablets should be ingested with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal results. Dosage is determined by your physician and may adjust based on blood sugar monitoring. Continuous use is vital; discontinuation without medical counsel risks elevated blood sugar, potentially leading to kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. Remember, this medication complements a holistic approach including diet, exercise, and weight management as advised 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. Prompt glucose intake (sugary foods or juice) is crucial for managing hypoglycemia; alcohol should be avoided as it exacerbates this risk. Additional potential side effects are altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. This medication is contraindicated for type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe liver or kidney disease. Prior heart conditions should be disclosed to your doctor before commencing treatment. Pregnant or nursing women require medical consultation before use. Regular blood sugar checks, along with blood cell and liver function monitoring, are recommended by your physician.

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

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