Overview Gliart-M 1 Tablet PR

DiaBeta-Duo, a single-dose tablet, is an antidiabetic medication combining two active agents for managing type 2 diabetes in adults. It effectively regulates blood glucose. Always take DiaBeta-Duo with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Dosage is determined by your physician and may be adjusted based on your blood sugar response. Continuous use is crucial; discontinuation without medical supervision can lead to elevated blood sugar, increasing the risk of complications including kidney disease, vision loss, neuropathy, and limb amputation. DiaBeta-Duo is a component of a comprehensive diabetes management plan encompassing a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle adjustments significantly influence diabetes control. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a frequent side effect, characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors. Maintain regular mealtimes and carry a rapid-acting glucose source (e.g., sugary snacks or juice). Alcohol consumption should be limited due to its potential to exacerbate hypoglycemia. Other possible side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. DiaBeta-Duo is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe hepatic or renal impairment. Individuals with a history of heart disease should inform their physician before commencing treatment. Pregnant or lactating women require medical consultation prior to use. Regular blood glucose monitoring and periodic blood tests (to assess blood cell counts and liver function) are recommended.

How Gliart-M 1 Tablet PR works:

Gliart-M 1 Tablet PR combines glimepiride and metformin, two distinct antidiabetic agents. Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, enhances pancreatic insulin secretion to reduce blood sugar. Metformin, a biguanide, acts by decreasing hepatic glucose production, retarding intestinal glucose uptake, and improving insulin responsiveness.

FAQs on Gliart-M 1 Tablet PR

Store this medication in its original, tightly closed container, following the storage instructions on the label or packaging. Discard any unused medication and ensure it's inaccessible to children, pets, and others.
Gliart-M 1 Tablet PR can cause lactic acidosis, a serious medical emergency characterized by excessive blood lactic acid (also known as Metformin-associated lactic acidosis or MALA). This rare but dangerous side effect is more likely in patients with kidney disease, the elderly, or those who consume significant alcohol. Symptoms include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, fatigue, cold extremities, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bradycardia. If you experience these, discontinue Gliart-M 1 Tablet PR and seek immediate medical attention.
Gliart-M 1 Tablet PR combines glimepiride and metformin to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus 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 diabetes.
Gliart-M 1 Tablet PR may cause common side effects such as hypoglycemia, altered taste, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, and headache. Rare but serious side effects, including lactic acidosis, are also possible. Prolonged use may result in vitamin B12 deficiency.
Prolonged Gliart-M 1 Tablet PR use can lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency by hindering its absorption. This deficiency, if left untreated, may result in anemia, neurological issues such as tingling, numbness in extremities, weakness, urinary problems, cognitive changes, and ataxia. To mitigate this risk, supplemental Vitamin B12 intake, at least annually, is recommended by some researchers.
Gliart-M 1 Tablet PR can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), manifesting as nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, or shakiness. This risk increases with missed meals, alcohol consumption, excessive exercise, or concurrent use of other diabetes medications. Therefore, regular blood sugar monitoring is crucial. Carry a fast-acting sugar source, such as glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice, at all times.
Combining Gliart-M 1 Tablet PR with alcohol is unsafe. This combination can lower blood sugar, potentially causing hypoglycemia, and increase the risk of lactic acidosis.
