Overview Glisung M 80mg/500mg Tablet SR

Mediflor 80mg/500mg Extended-Release Tablets are classified as antidiabetic medications. This dual-action formulation treats type 2 diabetes in adults by regulating blood glucose. Administer Mediflor with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal effectiveness. Dosage is determined by your physician and may be adjusted based on your blood sugar response. Continuous use is vital; discontinuation without medical supervision can lead to elevated blood sugar, potentially causing kidney impairment, vision loss, neuropathy, and limb complications. This medication is one component of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, encompassing dietary modifications, regular physical activity, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle choices significantly impact diabetes control. The most frequent adverse effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors; constipation; and nausea. Maintain regular mealtimes and carry readily available glucose sources (e.g., sweets, juice) to counter hypoglycemia. Alcohol consumption elevates hypoglycemia risk and should be limited. Additional potential side effects involve altered taste perception, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, cephalalgia, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. Contraindications include type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe hepatic or renal impairment. Individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease should inform their doctor before starting treatment. Pregnancy or breastfeeding necessitates medical consultation prior to use. Regular blood glucose monitoring and periodic blood tests to assess blood cell counts and liver function are typically recommended.

FAQs on Glisung M 80mg/500mg Tablet SR

Glisung M 80mg/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.
Glisung M 80mg/500mg Tablet SR 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.
Glisung M 80mg/500mg SR Tablets 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. Regular blood sugar monitoring is crucial. Carry glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice for emergencies.
Glisung M 80mg/500mg Tablet SR can cause lactic acidosis (MALA, or Metformin-associated lactic acidosis), a serious medical emergency resulting from excessive blood lactic acid. This rare side effect is avoidable by preventing use in patients with kidney disease, the elderly, or those who consume excessive alcohol. Symptoms include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, fatigue, cold extremities, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bradycardia. If these occur, discontinue Glisung M 80mg/500mg Tablet SR and seek immediate medical attention.
Prolonged use of Glisung M 80mg/500mg Tablet SR can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency by hindering its absorption in the stomach. This deficiency, if left untreated, may result in anemia, nerve damage (manifested as tingling, numbness in extremities, weakness), urinary issues, cognitive changes, and balance problems (ataxia). To mitigate this risk, supplemental vitamin B12 intake at least annually is recommended by some researchers.
