Overview Vodak GM 2mg/500mg/0.2mg Tablet SR

DiaBeta-GM 2mg/500mg/0.2mg Extended-Release Tablets are classified as antidiabetic medications. This combination drug treats type 2 diabetes in adults by regulating blood glucose. DiaBeta-GM should be taken with meals, consistently at the same time daily for optimal effectiveness. Dosage is determined by your physician and may be adjusted based on blood sugar monitoring. Continued use is crucial; discontinuation without medical consultation risks elevated blood sugar, potentially leading to kidney complications, vision loss, neuropathy, and limb amputation. This medication is part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan encompassing diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle choices significantly impact diabetes control. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a prevalent side effect, characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors. Regular meals and readily available glucose sources (e.g., sugary snacks, juice) are essential for prevention. Alcohol consumption elevates hypoglycemia risk and should be limited. Other potential side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, swelling (edema), blurred vision, fractures, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. DiaBeta-GM is contraindicated for 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 potential blood tests (blood cell counts, liver function) will be necessary as determined by your doctor.
