Cidiglim M 2mg/500mg Tablet’1*10

Introduction
Cidiglim M 2mg/500mg Tablet is an oral medicine from the anti-diabetic group. It contains two active components that work together to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. By maintaining stable glucose levels, it helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related health problems.

How to Take
This tablet should always be consumed with meals. It is important to take it at the same time every day to ensure steady control of blood sugar. Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate dose for you and may change it depending on how well your sugar levels are managed. Even if you feel fine or your sugar levels appear stable, do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor, as this may lead to uncontrolled diabetes and complications such as kidney damage, nerve pain, eye issues, or even loss of limbs. Alongside medication, lifestyle changes like healthy eating, weight management, and regular physical activity play a key role in controlling diabetes.

Side Effects
The most common side effect is hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, which may cause sweating, shakiness, dizziness, or headache. To manage this, eat meals regularly and keep a quick source of sugar, such as sweets or fruit juice, with you. Alcohol increases the chances of low blood sugar and should be avoided. Other possible effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, headache, taste alterations, mild infections, or weight gain. Most side effects are temporary and improve as your body adapts.

Who Should Avoid This Medicine
Cidiglim M 2mg/500mg should not be taken by people with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver problems. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, as this medicine may not be suitable. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use this medicine only after consulting their doctor. Regular monitoring of blood sugar, liver, kidney, and blood counts may be advised during treatment.

Uses
Prescribed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Benefits
This medicine helps the pancreas release more insulin and makes the body more responsive to it. At the same time, it lowers glucose production in the liver and slows sugar absorption in the intestine. Together, these actions help maintain steady blood glucose. By controlling sugar levels, the medicine reduces the chance of developing serious diabetes complications. Continued use with proper diet and exercise supports long-term health and quality of life.

Common Side Effects Noted
Headache, nausea, diarrhea, and low blood sugar episodes.

Directions for Use
Take the tablet whole with a glass of water, without chewing or crushing. It should always be taken with food. Follow the dose and duration exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

How It Works
Cidiglim M 2mg/500mg Tablet combines two agents: Glimepiride, which is a sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, and Metformin, which reduces glucose formation in the liver, delays its absorption from the intestine, and increases insulin sensitivity in the body.

Precautions
Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it can trigger low blood sugar. Pregnant women should only use it after medical advice, while breastfeeding mothers are advised not to take it due to possible risks to the baby. Be careful when driving, as fluctuating sugar levels can impair focus. People with kidney or liver problems should use this medicine cautiously and under medical supervision, and it is not recommended in severe cases.

Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is near, skip the forgotten dose and continue your usual schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.
