Glycomet-GP 1 Tablet PR is an anti-diabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It is a combination of two medicines that work together to help control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.
To ensure the best results, Glycomet-GP 1 Tablet PR should be taken with food, and it is important to take it regularly at the same time each day. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your blood sugar levels, and this may be adjusted over time. Even if you feel well or your blood sugar levels are controlled, it is crucial to continue taking the medication as prescribed. Stopping it without consulting your doctor could lead to a rise in blood sugar levels, increasing the risk of serious complications such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, and limb loss. Additionally, this medication should be part of a broader treatment plan that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management.
The most common side effect of this medication is hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which can cause symptoms like sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking. To prevent this, ensure you have regular meals and always carry a fast-acting glucose source, such as sugary foods or fruit juice. Alcohol can also increase the risk of low blood sugar and should be avoided. Other potential side effects include taste changes, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, and upper respiratory tract infections. Some people may experience weight gain while on this medication.
Glycomet-GP 1 Tablet PR should not be taken by individuals with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis (high levels of acid in the blood), or severe kidney or liver disease. If you have a history of heart disease, consult your doctor before using this medication, as it may not be suitable. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their healthcare provider. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, along with tests to check blood cell counts and liver function, is recommended while using this medication.
