Overview Voglimin-GM 1 Tablet SR

Diabetol-Duo 1mg extended-release tablet is an antidiabetic medication, a combination formulation for managing type 2 diabetes in adults. It effectively regulates blood glucose. Administer this medication with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal results. Dosage is determined by your physician and may be adjusted 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, encompassing a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and weight management as advised by your doctor. Lifestyle modifications are integral to diabetes control. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a common side effect; learn to recognize symptoms like sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors, and carry a rapid-acting glucose source (e.g., sugary foods or juice). Alcohol consumption increases hypoglycemia risk and should be avoided. Additional potential side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, edema, blurred vision, bone fractures, upper respiratory infections, and weight gain. This medication is contraindicated in type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe kidney or liver disease. Prior heart disease should be disclosed to your doctor before commencing treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals must consult their physician. Regular blood glucose monitoring, along with blood tests to assess blood cell counts and liver function, are typically recommended.
