Overview Kromet-G 1 Tablet SR

DiaGlyce-Duo 1mg Extended Release tablet is an antidiabetic medication, a dual-agent formulation for managing type 2 diabetes in adults. It helps regulate blood glucose. DiaGlyce-Duo should be ingested with meals, consistently at the same time daily for optimal effectiveness. Dosage is determined by your physician and may be adjusted based on blood sugar monitoring. Continue taking this medication even if feeling well or blood glucose is controlled; abrupt cessation can lead to elevated blood sugar, potentially causing kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. This medication is part of a comprehensive treatment plan, incorporating a balanced diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor; lifestyle choices significantly impact diabetes control. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a prevalent side effect; learn to recognize symptoms like sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors, and know how to counteract them with a fast-acting glucose source (e.g., sugary snacks or juice). Alcohol increases hypoglycemia risk and should be limited. Other potential side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and upper respiratory infections; weight gain may occur. This medication is contraindicated for type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe hepatic or renal impairment. Inform your doctor of any history of heart disease before commencing treatment; pregnancy or breastfeeding requires medical consultation. Regular blood glucose checks are necessary, and your doctor may order blood tests to monitor blood cell counts and liver function.

FAQs on Kromet-G 1 Tablet SR

Store this medication in its original, tightly closed container, following the storage instructions on the label. Discard any unused medication and keep it out of reach of children, pets, and others.
Kromet-G 1 Tablet SR can cause lactic acidosis, a serious medical emergency characterized by excessive blood lactic acid (also known as MALA, or Metformin-associated lactic acidosis). This rare but potentially harmful side effect is more likely in patients with kidney disease, the elderly, or those who consume large amounts of alcohol. Symptoms include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, fatigue, cold extremities, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bradycardia. If you experience these, discontinue Kromet-G 1 Tablet SR and seek immediate medical attention.
Kromet-G 1 Tablet SR combines glimepiride and metformin to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in adults. This combination improves blood glucose control when used with diet and exercise. Glimepiride stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin reduces liver glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity. It's not suitable for type 1 DM.
Kromet-G 1 Tablet SR may cause common side effects such as low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), taste changes, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, and headache. Rare but serious side effects include lactic acidosis. Prolonged use can result in vitamin B12 deficiency.
Prolonged Kromet-G 1 Tablet SR use can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency by hindering its absorption. This deficiency, if left unaddressed, may result in anemia, nerve damage (manifesting as tingling, numbness in extremities, weakness, and gait instability), urinary issues, and cognitive changes. To mitigate these risks, supplemental vitamin B12 is recommended annually by some researchers.
Kromet-G 1 Tablet SR can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), resulting in symptoms such as nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heart rate, and shakiness or anxiety. This risk increases with missed meals, alcohol consumption, excessive exercise, or concurrent use of other antidiabetic medications. Therefore, regular blood sugar monitoring is crucial. Always carry a fast-acting sugar source, such as glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice.
Combining Kromet-G 1 Tablet SR and alcohol is unsafe. This combination may cause dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and increase the risk of lactic acidosis.
