Product Description
Glykind M Tablet belongs to a class of medicines known as anti-diabetic drugs. It is a combination of two medications used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults by helping to control blood sugar levels effectively.

This medicine should be taken with food and at the same time each day to get the maximum benefit. Your doctor will prescribe the dose that is right for you and may adjust it over time depending on how well it is working and your blood sugar levels. It is important to continue taking Glykind M Tablet even if you feel well or if your blood sugar levels are under control. Stopping the medication without consulting your doctor could cause your blood sugar to rise, putting you at risk for serious complications such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, or even loss of limbs. Remember that medication is just one part of managing diabetes, alongside maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and achieving a healthy weight, as advised by your doctor.

The most common side effects of Glykind M Tablet include low blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia), constipation, and vomiting. It is important to recognize symptoms of low blood sugar, such as sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking, and know how to manage them quickly. To prevent hypoglycemia, ensure you eat regular meals and carry a fast-acting source of glucose like sugary food or fruit juice. Drinking alcohol can further increase the risk of low blood sugar and should be avoided. Other potential side effects may include taste changes, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, upper respiratory tract infections, and weight gain.

You should not take Glykind M Tablet if you have type 1 diabetes mellitus, diabetic ketoacidosis (a condition with high levels of acid in your blood), or severe kidney or liver disease. Before starting the medication, inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, as the medicine may not be suitable in such cases. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication. Regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels is essential, and your doctor may also recommend periodic blood tests to check your blood cell counts and liver function while on treatment.
