Formin PG 2 Tablet SR

Product Overview
Formin PG 2 Tablet SR is a combination medication designed to help manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is intended to be used alongside a proper diet and exercise regimen to enhance blood sugar control. This medicine aids in the effective use of insulin, helping to reduce elevated blood glucose levels.

Dosage and Administration
Take Formin PG 2 Tablet SR exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It should be taken with meals to reduce the risk of stomach upset. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your normal schedule. Avoid doubling the dose to compensate for a missed one, as this can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

Important Precautions
Some individuals may experience low blood sugar when using this medication, especially if combined with other diabetes treatments, alcohol, or when meals are skipped. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential. Common side effects can include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, bone fractures, and respiratory infections.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or heart conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider prior to use. Kidney function tests may be required before and during treatment. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, as it may increase the risk of side effects.

Uses
Formin PG 2 Tablet SR is prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

How It Helps
This medication assists in lowering high blood sugar levels by promoting the removal of excess glucose through urine and improving the body’s response to insulin. Insulin is the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar, and this medication helps enhance its effectiveness, especially after meals. Maintaining blood glucose within a healthy range helps reduce the risk of complications such as nerve damage, kidney issues, vision problems, and other diabetes-related conditions. Consistent use with diet and exercise supports a healthier lifestyle.

Possible Side Effects
While most side effects are mild and subside over time, contact your healthcare provider if symptoms persist or cause concern. Common side effects include:

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

• Headache

• Nausea

• Diarrhea

• Dizziness

• Vomiting

• Anemia

• Weakness

• Sinus infections

How to Use
Swallow the tablet whole with food; do not chew, crush, or break it. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration.

Mechanism of Action
Formin PG 2 Tablet SR contains three active ingredients: Glimepiride, Metformin, and Pioglitazone. Each works differently to control blood sugar:

• Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin.

• Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption in the intestines, and enhances insulin sensitivity.

• Pioglitazone improves the body’s response to insulin, helping cells use glucose more effectively.

Together, these ingredients provide a comprehensive approach to blood sugar management when single or dual therapies are insufficient.

Safety Information

• Avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medication.

• Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Use caution if you have kidney or liver problems; dosage adjustments may be necessary.

• Patients with severe kidney or liver disease should not use this medication.

• Be cautious when driving or operating machinery if your blood sugar is unstable.

Missed Dose Instructions
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible unless the next dose is near. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
