Overview Gludown 60mg/500mg Tablet

Diabetol Duo 60mg/500mg tablets are classified as antidiabetic medications. This dual-action formulation treats type 2 diabetes in adults by managing blood glucose levels. Diabetol Duo should be ingested 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. Continued use is crucial; discontinuation without medical supervision can elevate blood sugar, potentially leading to kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. This medication complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan encompassing diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle modifications are pivotal in diabetes control. Common side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors; constipation; and vomiting. Prompt glucose intake (e.g., sugary foods, fruit juice) is essential for hypoglycemia management. Alcohol consumption should be limited due to its potential to worsen hypoglycemia. Additional possible side effects are altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. This medication is contraindicated in type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe hepatic or renal impairment. Individuals with a history of heart disease should inform their physician before commencing treatment. Pregnant or lactating women require medical consultation prior to use. Regular blood glucose monitoring and periodic blood tests (complete blood count, liver function tests) are recommended.
