Gemer Forte 1 Tablet PR is an anti-diabetic medication that combines two drugs to help manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults by controlling blood sugar levels. It should be taken with food and at the same time each day for optimal effectiveness. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage, which may be adjusted based on your blood sugar levels over time.
It’s important to continue taking this medicine even if you feel well or your blood sugar appears controlled, as stopping it without medical advice can lead to elevated blood sugar and increase the risk of serious complications, such as kidney damage, nerve issues, blindness, and limb loss. Alongside the medication, adopting a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management is crucial in managing diabetes.
A common side effect of Gemer Forte 1 Tablet PR is low blood glucose (hypoglycemia), with symptoms including sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking. To prevent this, ensure you eat regular meals and carry a quick-acting glucose source, like fruit juice or candy. Avoid alcohol, as it can worsen the risk of hypoglycemia. Other side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, taste changes, and upper respiratory infections. Some individuals may also experience weight gain.
Do not take this medicine if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, as the medication may not be suitable. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and routine lab tests may be necessary to ensure the medicine is working properly and to check for any effects on liver function or blood cell counts.
