Description:
Reclimet Tablet is an anti-diabetic medication that combines two medicines to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults by helping to control blood sugar levels. It should be taken with food at the same time each day for the best results. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your blood sugar levels and may adjust it over time.
Continuing this medication is essential, even if you feel well or your blood sugar appears controlled, as stopping it without medical advice may lead to complications like kidney damage, blindness, nerve issues, or limb loss. It is part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management, as recommended by your doctor.
Common side effects include low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), constipation, and vomiting. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking, so it is important to recognize and manage them by consuming a quick source of glucose like sugary food or fruit juice. Alcohol should be avoided, as it increases the risk of low blood sugar. Other possible side effects include taste changes, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, and upper respiratory tract infections. Some individuals may also experience weight gain.
This medicine is not suitable for individuals with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, as this medication may not be appropriate. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use. Regular blood sugar monitoring and periodic blood tests to check blood cell counts and liver function may be required during treatment.
