Glimiprex MF 3mg/500mg Tablet PR

Product Overview

Glimiprex MF 3mg/500mg Tablet PR is an anti-diabetic medication that combines two active ingredients to help manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It assists in controlling blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin production and improving how the body uses insulin, contributing to better glucose regulation.

This medicine should be taken with food and at the same time each day to achieve optimal results. Your healthcare provider will prescribe the appropriate dose based on your condition and may adjust it as needed depending on how well it controls your blood sugar.

Continue taking Glimiprex MF even if you start feeling better or your blood sugar appears controlled. Stopping treatment without consulting your doctor could lead to elevated blood sugar, increasing the risk of complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, eye issues, and loss of limbs. A comprehensive approach including proper diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight, as advised by your doctor, is essential for diabetes management.

Possible Side Effects

The most frequently observed side effect is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). It’s important to recognize symptoms such as sweating, dizziness, headache, and trembling, and be prepared with a quick source of sugar like fruit juice or candy. Avoid alcohol, as it can worsen low blood sugar episodes. Other side effects may include taste disturbances, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headaches, and upper respiratory infections. Some individuals may also experience weight gain while on this medicine.

Precautions

Do not use Glimiprex MF if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Consult your doctor if you have a history of heart disease before starting this medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should speak with their healthcare provider before use. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended, along with periodic blood tests to assess liver function and blood cell counts.

Benefits

Glimiprex MF helps regulate blood sugar levels by boosting insulin secretion from the pancreas and enhancing insulin sensitivity. This lowers blood glucose and reduces the risk of long-term diabetes complications like kidney disease, nerve damage, and cardiovascular problems. Following a prescribed treatment plan with appropriate diet and exercise will support a healthy lifestyle.

Most side effects are mild and subside as your body adjusts to the treatment. If they persist, contact your doctor.

How to Use

Take this medicine as instructed by your healthcare provider. Swallow the tablet whole with food, and do not crush or chew it.

How It Works

Glimiprex MF combines glimepiride, which stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, and metformin, which reduces glucose production in the liver, slows absorption from the intestines, and improves the body’s response to insulin. Together, they help effectively control blood sugar levels.
