Diamicron XR 60 Tablet is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It belongs to the sulfonylurea class of drugs and helps regulate blood sugar levels, thus reducing the risk of serious complications such as kidney damage, vision loss, and nerve issues.

Your doctor may prescribe Diamicron XR 60 Tablet alone or in combination with other diabetes medications. It should be taken with food, at the same time every day, for maximum benefit. Your doctor will determine the correct dosage, which may be adjusted periodically based on your response to the treatment.

Even if you feel well or your blood sugar levels are controlled, continue taking this medicine as prescribed. Stopping it without consulting your doctor can lead to elevated blood sugar levels, increasing the risk of complications such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve issues, and limb loss. Keep in mind that Diamicron XR 60 is just one part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, which also includes a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and weight management as advised by your healthcare provider.

Common side effects may include indigestion or stomach upset. Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) is another potential side effect, and it’s important to recognize symptoms such as sweating, dizziness, headaches, and shaking. To prevent this, eat regular meals and always carry a quick source of glucose, such as fruit juice or sugary snacks. Avoid alcohol, as it can increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Some individuals may experience weight gain while using this medication.

Diamicron XR 60 is not suitable for individuals with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious condition caused by high acid levels in the blood), or severe liver or kidney disease. Before using this medication, inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, thyroid disorders, or other hormonal issues. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting this treatment. Regular blood sugar monitoring is essential, and your doctor may recommend blood tests to monitor liver function and blood cell counts.
