Overview Vaxtab GM 2 Tablet SR

Diabetic medication, GlyMax Duo SR tablets, combats type 2 diabetes in adults. This dual-action formulation manages blood glucose levels. Always take GlyMax Duo SR with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Dosage is determined by your physician and may adjust based on your blood sugar readings. Continued use is crucial, even with controlled blood sugar, as abrupt cessation can lead to elevated glucose, potentially causing kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. Remember, this medication complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan including diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle significantly influences diabetes control. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is the most frequent side effect, characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors. Regular meals and readily available glucose sources (sugary foods or juice) are essential. Alcohol increases hypoglycemia risk and should be avoided. Additional potential side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, swelling, blurred vision, bone fractures, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. GlyMax Duo SR is contraindicated for type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe liver or kidney disease. Disclose any history of heart disease before commencing treatment; it may not be appropriate for you. Pregnant or lactating individuals should consult their physician before use. Regular blood glucose monitoring is necessary; your doctor may also order blood tests to track blood cell counts and liver function.
