Overview Glizato M 80mg/500mg Tablet

Metformin/glimepiride 80mg/500mg tablets are classified as antidiabetic medications. This dual-drug formulation treats type 2 diabetes in adults by managing blood glucose levels. Administer this medication 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, even with controlled blood sugar, as discontinuation without medical supervision risks elevated glucose, potentially leading to kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. This medication complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan incorporating a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle modifications are integral to diabetes control. Common side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors; constipation, and vomiting. Maintain regular mealtimes and carry a rapid-acting glucose source (e.g., sugary foods or juice) to counter hypoglycemia. Alcohol consumption should be limited due to its potential to exacerbate hypoglycemia. Additional possible side effects are altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. This medication is contraindicated in type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe renal or hepatic impairment. Individuals with a history of heart disease should inform their physician prior to commencement. Pregnant or lactating women should consult their doctor before use. Regular blood glucose monitoring and periodic blood tests (to assess blood cell counts and liver function) are recommended.
