Overview Reclimet-XR Tablet

Diabex Duo XR tablets are antidiabetic medications combining two drugs to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. They help regulate blood glucose. Take Diabex Duo XR with meals, consistently at the same time daily for optimal results. Dosage is determined by your physician and may adjust based on blood sugar response. Continue using this medication even if feeling well or blood sugar is controlled; discontinuation without medical guidance risks elevated blood sugar, potentially leading to kidney complications, vision loss, neuropathy, and limb loss. This medication is part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan including diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle significantly impacts diabetes control. Common side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors; constipation; and vomiting. Maintain regular meals and carry a fast-acting glucose source (e.g., sugary foods, fruit juice) to counteract hypoglycemia. Alcohol increases hypoglycemia risk and should be avoided. Other possible side effects are altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. Do not use if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Inform your doctor of any heart history before starting this medication; it may be unsuitable. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their physician. Regular blood glucose monitoring, along with blood tests to check blood cell counts and liver function, are recommended by your doctor.

FAQs on Reclimet-XR Tablet

Reclimet-XR, a tablet combining gliclazide and metformin, treats type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It enhances blood glucose control when used with diet and exercise. Gliclazide stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin reduces liver glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity. This combination is unsuitable for type 1 diabetes.
Reclimet-XR Tablets may cause common side effects such as low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), altered taste, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Rare but serious side effects, including lactic acidosis, are also possible. Prolonged use may result in vitamin B12 deficiency.
Reclimet-XR Tablets can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), manifesting as nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heart rate, anxiety, or shakiness. This risk increases with missed meals, alcohol consumption, excessive exercise, or concurrent use of other diabetes medications. Regular blood sugar monitoring is crucial. Carry glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice for emergencies.
Reclimet-XR Tablets can cause lactic acidosis, a serious medical emergency characterized by high blood lactic acid levels (also known as MALA, or Metformin-associated lactic acidosis). This rare side effect is less likely in patients without kidney disease, who are not elderly, and who avoid excessive alcohol consumption. Symptoms may include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, fatigue, cold extremities, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bradycardia. If you experience these, discontinue Reclimet-XR and seek immediate medical attention.
Prolonged Reclimet-XR Tablet use can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency by interfering with its stomach absorption. This deficiency, if left untreated, may result in anemia, nerve damage (manifesting as tingling, numbness in extremities, weakness, and balance problems), urinary issues, and cognitive changes. To mitigate this risk, supplemental vitamin B12 at least annually is recommended by some researchers.
Reclimet-XR Tablets are contraindicated in patients with allergies to any ingredient or excipient. They should also be avoided in those with moderate to severe kidney disease or metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis.
Combining Reclimet-XR tablets and alcohol is unsafe. Alcohol can worsen low blood sugar and raise the risk of lactic acidosis.
Reclimet-XR tablets combine gliclazide and metformin to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in adults. This combination improves blood glucose control when used with diet and exercise. Gliclazide stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin reduces liver glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity. Reclimet-XR is not suitable for type 1 DM.
Reclimet-XR Tablets may cause common side effects such as hypoglycemia, altered taste, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Rare but serious side effects, including lactic acidosis, are also possible. Prolonged use may result in vitamin B12 deficiency.

Carry glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice to treat low blood sugar.
Reclimet-XR Tablets can cause lactic acidosis, a serious, potentially fatal medical emergency (also known as MALA, or Metformin-associated lactic acidosis). This rare side effect is more likely in patients with kidney disease, older adults, or those who consume excessive alcohol. Symptoms include muscle pain/weakness, dizziness, fatigue, cold extremities, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bradycardia. If you experience these, discontinue Reclimet-XR and seek immediate medical attention.
Prolonged Reclimet-XR Tablet use can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency by interfering with its stomach absorption. This deficiency, if left untreated, may cause anemia, nerve damage (manifesting as tingling, numbness in extremities, weakness, and ataxia), urinary issues, and cognitive changes. To mitigate this risk, supplemental vitamin B12 at least annually is recommended by some researchers.
Reclimet-XR Tablets are contraindicated in patients with allergies to any ingredient or excipient. They should also be avoided in those with moderate to severe kidney disease or metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis.
