Description:

Glizid-M Tablet is an anti-diabetic medicine that combines two active ingredients to help manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It works by effectively lowering and controlling blood sugar levels, thereby reducing the risk of serious diabetes-related complications such as nerve damage, kidney problems, vision issues, and limb loss.

This medicine should be taken with food to minimize side effects and ensure better absorption. For optimal results, take it regularly at the same time every day. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage for you, which may be adjusted based on how well your blood sugar levels are being controlled.

Even if you start feeling better or your sugar levels seem normal, do not stop taking Glizid-M without your doctor’s advice, as stopping suddenly can lead to a spike in blood sugar levels. It’s important to remember that this medicine is only one part of your overall diabetes treatment. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight are essential components of effective diabetes management.

Common side effects of Glizid-M Tablet include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), constipation, and vomiting. Symptoms of hypoglycemia may include sweating, dizziness, shakiness, and headache. To prevent or manage low blood sugar, have regular meals, and always carry a quick source of glucose like sugary snacks or fruit juice. Alcohol should be avoided, as it can increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Other possible side effects include nausea, taste changes, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, and upper respiratory tract infection. Weight gain may also occur in some individuals.

Do not take Glizid-M Tablet if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe liver or kidney problems. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, as special monitoring may be required. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before starting this medicine. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is important, and your doctor may also recommend periodic blood tests to check liver function and blood cell counts during treatment.
