Overview Liczide M 80mg/500mg Tablet SR

Diabex Duo 80mg/500mg Extended-Release Tablets are classified as antidiabetic medications. This dual-action formulation treats type 2 diabetes in adults by managing blood glucose levels. Diabex 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 glycemic control. Continuous use is crucial; discontinuation without medical consultation risks elevated 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 choices are vital for diabetes control. Common adverse effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors; constipation; and vomiting. Always carry a quick-acting glucose source (e.g., sugary snacks, juice) and maintain regular mealtimes to mitigate hypoglycemia. Alcohol consumption increases hypoglycemia risk and should be limited. Additional potential side effects include altered taste perception, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain is a possibility. This medication is contraindicated in type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe hepatic or renal impairment. Prior heart conditions should be disclosed to your physician before commencing treatment. Pregnant or lactating individuals require medical consultation before use. Regular blood glucose monitoring and periodic blood tests (blood counts and liver function) are recommended.
