Exermet GM 502 Tablet PR is an anti-diabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It combines two medicines that work together to help control blood sugar levels effectively.
This tablet is best taken with food, at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your condition and how your body responds to the treatment.
Even if you feel well or your blood sugar appears to be under control, continue taking the medication unless advised otherwise by your doctor. Stopping the treatment can lead to elevated blood sugar, increasing the risk of kidney damage, vision loss, nerve issues, and limb problems. It is important to follow a complete treatment plan, which also includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management as recommended by your doctor.
The most common side effect is hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Be aware of warning signs like sweating, dizziness, shaking, and headaches, and keep a quick source of sugar—like candy or fruit juice—handy at all times. Avoid alcohol, as it can increase the risk of low blood sugar. Other side effects may include nausea, changes in taste, diarrhea, stomach pain, headaches, and upper respiratory tract infections. Some individuals may also experience weight gain.
Do not take this medicine if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver issues. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart conditions before starting this medication. It’s also essential to consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Routine blood sugar monitoring and regular blood tests may be recommended to keep track of your liver function and blood cell counts during treatment.
