Product introduction
Diapride 2 Tablet is an anti-diabetic medicine from the class of sulfonylureas. It is prescribed to adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to help manage blood sugar levels. By keeping blood glucose under control, it lowers the risk of serious complications related to diabetes, including kidney problems, vision loss, and nerve damage.
This medicine can be taken on its own or in combination with other diabetes medications. It is usually recommended to take it right before or along with your first meal of the day. For best results, take it regularly at the same time every day. The exact dose will be determined by your doctor, depending on your blood sugar readings and overall health.
Even if you are feeling well or your blood sugar seems stable, continue taking Diapride 2 Tablet as advised. Stopping it suddenly without medical guidance may cause your blood sugar levels to rise, increasing the chances of diabetes-related complications like kidney damage, blindness, nerve issues, or limb problems. Along with the medicine, following a healthy lifestyle that includes proper diet, physical activity, and weight control is very important to keep diabetes in check.
Some common side effects of this medicine include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), headache, dizziness, nausea, and weakness. Learn to recognize the warning signs of low blood sugar such as sweating, trembling, or confusion, and keep a quick source of sugar like sweets or fruit juice with you at all times. Avoid alcohol as it can increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Some people may notice a gradual weight gain while using this medication.
This medicine is not suitable for people with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe liver or kidney problems. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor about any heart conditions, thyroid disorders, or hormonal problems you may have. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using it. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and occasional blood tests may be needed to check your liver function and blood cell counts.
