Glycinorm 80 Tablet is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It belongs to the sulfonylurea class of drugs and works by helping to control blood sugar levels, thereby reducing the risk of serious complications associated with diabetes, such as kidney damage and blindness.

Glycinorm 80 Tablet may be prescribed alone or in combination with other medications. It should be taken with food, and it is important to take it regularly at the same time each day to get the best results. The dose will be determined by your doctor, who may adjust it over time based on how the medication is working for you. Even if your blood sugar levels are stable or you feel fine, continue taking the medicine as prescribed, as stopping it without consulting your doctor may cause your blood sugar levels to rise, leading to complications.

The most common side effects of Glycinorm 80 Tablet include diarrhea and headaches. It can also cause hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels). Recognizing the signs of low blood sugar, such as sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking, is important. To prevent hypoglycemia, ensure you have regular meals and always carry a fast-acting source of glucose, such as sugary food or fruit juice. Alcohol should be avoided, as it can increase the risk of low blood sugar levels. Additionally, some people may experience weight gain while taking this medication.

You should not take Glycinorm 80 Tablet if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, thyroid disease, or certain hormonal conditions, as the medication may not be suitable for you. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and possibly blood tests to check your blood cell counts and liver function are recommended while taking this medication.
