Glisen MF 1 Tablet PR is an anti-diabetic medication used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It combines two medicines that work together to effectively control blood sugar levels, thereby helping to prevent serious complications associated with diabetes, such as kidney damage, nerve problems, and vision loss. This medicine should be taken with food to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, and it is important to take it at the same time each day to achieve the best results. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your condition and how well your blood sugar levels respond to the treatment.

Consistency is key when using Glisen MF 1 Tablet PR. Even if you feel well or your blood sugar is under control, you should not stop taking the medicine without consulting your doctor, as doing so can lead to a spike in blood sugar levels. This medicine is just one part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, which also includes a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and weight management. Your lifestyle plays a vital role in keeping your blood sugar levels stable.

The most common side effect of Glisen MF 1 Tablet PR is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Symptoms may include sweating, dizziness, shaking, and headache. To avoid hypoglycemia, it is important to eat meals regularly and carry a fast-acting source of sugar, such as candy or fruit juice. Alcohol should be avoided, as it can increase the risk of low blood sugar. Other side effects may include taste changes, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, and upper respiratory tract infections. Some individuals may also experience weight gain during treatment.

You should not take Glisen MF 1 Tablet PR if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease or other underlying health issues before starting this medicine. It may not be suitable in such cases.

Regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels is essential, and your doctor may also order periodic blood tests to check your liver function and blood cell counts during treatment.
