Overview Glychek-M 60mg/500mg Tablet

Diabexe Duo 60mg/500mg tablets are classified as antidiabetic agents, combining two medications for adult type 2 diabetes management. This formulation regulates blood glucose levels. Diabexe Duo should be administered with meals, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Dosage is determined individually by your physician and may be adjusted based on your blood sugar response. Continued use is crucial, even with well-controlled blood sugar, as abrupt cessation can elevate glucose levels, potentially causing kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. Remember, this medication complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan including diet, exercise, and weight management as recommended by your doctor. Lifestyle choices significantly impact diabetes control. Common side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors; constipation; and vomiting. Always carry a fast-acting sugar source to manage hypoglycemia. Regular meals are essential, and alcohol should be avoided due to its potential to exacerbate hypoglycemia. Additional possible side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. This medication is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe hepatic or renal impairment. Prior heart disease should be disclosed to your doctor before commencing treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their physician before use. Regular blood glucose monitoring and periodic blood tests to assess blood cell counts and liver function are recommended.
