Diamicron XR Mex 30/500 Tablet is a combination of two medicines used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It belongs to the anti-diabetic drug class and helps control blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of complications associated with diabetes.

For optimal effectiveness, Diamicron XR Mex 30/500 Tablet should be taken with food and at the same time each day. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage, which may be adjusted based on your blood sugar levels and how the medicine is working.

It is important to continue taking this medication as prescribed, even if you feel well or your blood sugar is under control. Stopping the medicine without consulting your doctor could cause your blood sugar levels to rise, increasing the risk of complications such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve issues, and even limb loss. Along with the medication, maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management, as recommended by your doctor, plays a key role in managing diabetes.

Common side effects include low blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia), constipation, and vomiting. Recognize the signs of low blood sugar, such as sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking, and always have a quick source of glucose, such as sugary food or fruit juice, on hand. Regular meals and avoiding alcohol can also help prevent hypoglycemia. Other side effects may include changes in taste, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headaches, and upper respiratory tract infections. Some individuals may experience weight gain while using this medicine.

Diamicron XR Mex 30/500 Tablet should not be taken if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis (a condition caused by high blood acid levels), or severe kidney or liver disease. Before starting this treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, as it may not be suitable for you. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine. Regular blood sugar monitoring is essential, and your doctor may also recommend tests to check your blood cell counts and liver function.
