Overview Glicia M 60mg/500mg Tablet SR

Diabexe Duo 60mg/500mg Extended-Release Tablets are classified as antidiabetic medications. This dual-action formulation treats type 2 diabetes in adults by managing blood glucose levels. Diabexe Duo should be ingested with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal effectiveness. Dosage is determined individually by your physician and may be adjusted based on your blood sugar response. Continuous use is crucial; discontinuation without medical consultation risks elevated blood sugar, potentially leading to kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. Remember, this medication complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan encompassing 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 counter hypoglycemia and maintain regular mealtimes. Alcohol consumption increases hypoglycemia risk and should be avoided. 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. Disclose any history of heart conditions to your doctor prior to use, as it may be unsuitable. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before taking Diabexe Duo. Regular blood glucose monitoring and periodic blood tests to assess blood cell counts and liver function are recommended.

Glicia M 60mg/500mg SR tablets combine gliclazide and metformin to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This combination improves blood glucose control when used with diet and exercise. Gliclazide stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin reduces liver glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity. It's not suitable for type 1 diabetes.
Glicia M 60mg/500mg SR 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.
Glicia M 60mg/500mg SR Tablets can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), manifesting as nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heart rate, anxiety, or shakiness. This risk increases with missed meals, alcohol consumption, excessive exercise, or concurrent use of other antidiabetic medications. Regular blood sugar monitoring is crucial. Carry glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice for emergencies.
Glicia M 60mg/500mg Tablet SR can cause lactic acidosis, a serious, potentially life-threatening condition characterized by excessive blood lactic acid (also known as Metformin-associated lactic acidosis or MALA).
