Overview Glictrue M 80mg/500mg Tablet SR

Diabex Duo 80mg/500mg Extended-Release Tablets are classified as antidiabetic medications. This dual-action formulation treats type 2 diabetes in adults by managing blood glucose levels. 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 crucial, even with well-controlled blood sugar, as abrupt cessation can lead to elevated glucose levels, increasing the risk of kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. This medication is a component of a comprehensive diabetes management plan encompassing a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle choices significantly influence diabetes control. Common adverse effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors; constipation; and vomiting. Prompt glucose intake (e.g., sugary snacks or juice) is essential for hypoglycemia management. Alcohol consumption should be minimized due to its potential to exacerbate hypoglycemia. Additional potential side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. This medication is contraindicated for type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe hepatic or renal impairment. Prior heart conditions should be disclosed to your physician before commencing treatment. Pregnant or lactating individuals should consult their physician before use. Regular blood glucose monitoring is necessary, along with potential blood tests to assess blood cell counts and liver function.

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.
Glictrue M 80mg/500mg SR tablets may cause common side effects such as hypoglycemia, altered taste, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, and upper respiratory tract infections.
