Overview Loyzide M 60mg/500mg Tablet XR

Diabex Duo 60mg/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 and adjusted by your physician based on your blood sugar response. 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 including diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle modifications are pivotal in diabetes control. Common adverse 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 should be avoided due to increased hypoglycemia risk. Other potential side effects are altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, upper respiratory infections, and weight gain. This medication is contraindicated in type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe hepatic or renal impairment. Prior heart disease 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 cell counts, liver function) are recommended.
