Overview Glizid-M XR Tablet 60mg/1000mg

This medication, a 60mg/1000mg extended-release tablet of Glizid-M XR, is an antidiabetic combination therapy for adult type 2 diabetes. It helps manage 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 blood sugar monitoring. Continue taking it as prescribed, even if feeling well, as discontinuation without medical supervision can elevate blood sugar, potentially causing kidney damage, vision loss, neuropathy, and limb complications. This medication is only one component of a comprehensive diabetes management plan; a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management (as advised) are crucial. Common side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), characterized by symptoms like sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors; constipation; and vomiting. Maintain regular mealtimes and carry a readily available fast-acting glucose source (e.g., sugary snacks or juice) to mitigate hypoglycemia. Alcohol consumption should be avoided due to its potential to exacerbate low blood sugar. Other possible side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. This medication is contraindicated in individuals with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe hepatic or renal impairment. Inform your physician of any prior heart conditions before commencing treatment. Pregnant or lactating women should seek medical counsel prior to use. Regular blood glucose monitoring, along with periodic blood tests to assess blood cell counts and liver function, are recommended.

FAQs on Glizid-M XR Tablet 60mg/1000mg

Glizid-M XR 60mg/1000mg tablets combine gliclazide and metformin to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This combination improves blood sugar control when used with diet and exercise. Gliclazide stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin reduces liver glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity. This medication is not suitable for type 1 diabetes.
Glizid-M XR 60mg/1000mg tablets may cause common side effects such as hypoglycemia, altered taste, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Rare but serious side effects, including lactic acidosis, are also possible. Prolonged use may result in vitamin B12 deficiency.
Glizid-M XR 60mg/1000mg can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), with symptoms such as nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and shakiness or anxiety. This risk increases if meals are missed or delayed, alcohol is consumed, excessive exercise occurs, or other diabetes medications are taken concurrently. Regular blood sugar monitoring is crucial. Always carry a fast-acting sugar source, like glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice.
Glizid-M XR 60mg/1000mg can cause lactic acidosis (MALA), a serious medical emergency resulting from excessive blood lactic acid. This rare side effect is more likely in patients with kidney disease, older adults, or those who consume excessive alcohol.

If you experience these, discontinue Glizid-M XR and seek immediate medical attention.

To mitigate this risk, supplemental vitamin B12 intake, at least annually, is recommended by some researchers.
