Diamicron Tablet is an oral medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. Belonging to a class of drugs known as sulfonylureas, it helps regulate blood sugar levels, thereby reducing the risk of serious diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, and vision loss.
Your doctor may prescribe Diamicron Tablet on its own or in combination with other diabetes medicines. It should be taken with food, preferably at the same time each day, to maintain steady blood sugar control. The dosage will be tailored to your individual needs and may be adjusted periodically based on your response to treatment.
Continue taking this medicine even if you feel well or your blood sugar levels are under control. Discontinuing it without your doctor’s advice can cause your blood sugar to rise and lead to complications. Keep in mind that Diamicron is part of a broader diabetes management plan, which includes a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and weight management as advised by your healthcare provider.
Common side effects may include indigestion or stomach discomfort. This medication can also cause low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). Be aware of symptoms such as sweating, dizziness, shaking, and headaches, and be prepared with a quick source of sugar like fruit juice or glucose tablets. Avoid alcohol, as it can increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Some patients may also experience weight gain.
Do not use Diamicron if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe liver or kidney problems. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart conditions, thyroid issues, or hormonal disorders, as the medicine may not be suitable for you. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before starting this medication. Regular monitoring of your blood sugar, as well as occasional blood tests to check liver function and blood cell counts, may be required during treatment
