Overview GVM 2 Tablet SR

GVM 2 SR tablets are classified as antidiabetic medications. This dual-action formulation manages type 2 diabetes in adults by regulating blood glucose. Administer this medication with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Dosage is determined and adjusted by your physician based on your blood sugar response. Continuous use is crucial, even with well-controlled blood sugar, as discontinuation without medical supervision risks elevated glucose levels, potentially leading to kidney complications, vision loss, neuropathy, and limb loss. Remember, this medication complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan involving diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle choices significantly impact diabetes control. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is the most frequent adverse effect; learn to recognize symptoms like sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors, and have readily available fast-acting glucose (e.g., sugary foods or juice). Alcohol consumption increases hypoglycemia risk and should be minimized. Other possible side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, edema, blurred vision, fractures, 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 should seek medical advice prior to use. Regular blood glucose monitoring, along with blood cell and liver function tests as directed by your doctor, are essential.

It's not suitable for type 1 diabetes.
