Description:
Glimestar-PM2 Tablet ER is a combination medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It works by improving the body’s ability to use insulin effectively, thereby helping to lower and control blood sugar levels. This medicine is typically used alongside a proper diet and regular exercise to achieve optimal results.
It should be taken with food and exactly as prescribed by your doctor to minimize the risk of stomach discomfort. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible. However, if it’s nearly time for the next scheduled dose, the missed one should be skipped to avoid taking a double dose, which can lead to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels).
The risk of hypoglycemia increases when the medicine is taken with other anti-diabetic drugs, alcohol, or if meals are skipped. It’s important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while on this medication. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, bone fractures, and respiratory tract infections.
Before starting Glimestar-PM2 Tablet ER, inform your doctor if you have any existing kidney, liver, or heart conditions. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before use. Your doctor may also conduct kidney function tests before initiating treatment. To reduce the risk of side effects, avoid consuming excessive amounts of alcohol during the course of this medication.
