Overview Sulfozid MP 60 Tablet ER

Diabex Duo 60mg Extended Release tablets are antidiabetic medications combining two active ingredients for adult type 2 diabetes management. This formulation helps regulate blood glucose. Diabex Duo 60mg ER should be taken with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Dosage is determined by your physician and may be adjusted based on blood sugar monitoring. Continued use is crucial, even with controlled blood sugar, as abrupt cessation can elevate glucose levels, potentially leading to complications such as kidney impairment, vision loss, neuropathy, and limb damage. Diabex Duo 60mg ER is part of a comprehensive treatment plan encompassing diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle choices significantly impact diabetes control. Common side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors; constipation; and vomiting. Always carry a fast-acting glucose source (e.g., sugary foods, fruit juice) and maintain regular mealtimes. Alcohol consumption increases hypoglycemia risk and should be avoided. Other possible side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. This medication is contraindicated in type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe kidney or liver disease. Individuals with a history of heart disease should inform their physician before starting treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor. Regular blood glucose monitoring, along with periodic blood tests to assess blood cell counts and liver function, are recommended.
