Diamicron MR 30 Tablet is an oral medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It belongs to the sulfonylurea class of drugs and works by helping the body control blood sugar levels, thereby lowering the risk of serious complications such as kidney damage, vision loss, and nerve issues.
This medicine may be prescribed on its own or in combination with other diabetes medications. It should be taken with food, ideally at the same time each day, to ensure consistent blood sugar control. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and may adjust it over time.
It’s important to continue taking Diamicron MR 30 even if you feel well or your blood sugar appears to be under control. Stopping the medication without medical advice can cause your sugar levels to rise again, increasing the risk of diabetes-related complications. Keep in mind that this medicine is most effective when combined with lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management as recommended by your doctor.
Common side effects may include indigestion or stomach discomfort. A more serious potential side effect is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Learn to recognize the symptoms—such as sweating, dizziness, headache, or shaking—and carry a fast-acting sugar source like fruit juice or candy. Avoid alcohol, as it can heighten the risk of hypoglycemia. Some individuals may also experience weight gain during treatment.
Do not use Diamicron MR 30 if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious diabetes complication), or severe liver or kidney disease. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of heart problems, thyroid issues, or other hormonal disorders. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine. Regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels is essential, and your doctor may also request blood tests to check liver function and blood cell counts during treatment.
