Diapride M1 Tablet PR

Product Introduction
Diapride M1 Tablet PR is a prescription medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It combines two antidiabetic medicines that work together to help regulate blood sugar levels. This medication is most effective when used along with a proper diet and regular physical activity to control blood glucose levels and prevent diabetes-related complications.

It is usually taken with meals to minimize stomach discomfort. For best results, take it at the same time every day as directed by your doctor. The dose will be adjusted from time to time based on your blood sugar levels and response to treatment.

Do not stop taking this medicine without medical advice, even if you feel well or your sugar levels are under control, as stopping suddenly may cause blood sugar to rise and increase the risk of serious complications like kidney damage, nerve issues, eye problems, or even loss of limbs. In addition to medication, lifestyle changes like healthy eating, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight are essential for effective diabetes management.

Low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, is the most common side effect of this medicine. Symptoms include sweating, dizziness, shakiness, headache, or feeling weak. Carry a quick source of sugar such as glucose tablets, candy, or fruit juice to manage sudden low sugar levels. Avoid alcohol as it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Other possible side effects are nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, taste changes, or mild respiratory infections. Some people may also gain weight while using this medicine.

This medicine should not be used by people with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe liver or kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking it. Regular monitoring of blood glucose and periodic blood tests to check liver and kidney function are recommended during treatment.

How It Works
Diapride M1 Tablet PR combines two antidiabetic agents. Glimepiride helps the pancreas release more insulin, while Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, slows down sugar absorption from the intestines, and improves the body’s response to insulin.
