Overview Glidax M 3mg/850mg Tablet SR

Diabex Duo 3mg/850mg extended-release tablets are classified as antidiabetic agents. This dual-action medication treats type 2 diabetes in adults by regulating blood glucose. Diabex Duo should be ingested with meals, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Dosage is determined by your physician and may adjust based on blood sugar response. Continued use is crucial, even with controlled blood sugar, as discontinuation without medical supervision risks elevated glucose, potentially leading to kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. Remember, this medication complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan including diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Commonly, Diabex Duo can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Learn to recognize symptoms like sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors, and know how to manage them using a quick-acting glucose source (e.g., sugary foods, juice). Alcohol increases this risk and should be limited. Other potential side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain is also possible. Diabex Duo is contraindicated in type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe kidney or liver impairment. Inform your doctor of any history of heart disease before starting treatment; it may be unsuitable. Pregnant or nursing individuals require medical consultation prior to use. Regular blood sugar monitoring is essential, along with potential blood tests to track blood cell counts and liver health.
