Glimy 2 Tablet

Glimy 2 Tablet is an oral antidiabetic medicine from the sulfonylurea group, prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by reducing blood sugar levels, which helps protect against long-term complications of diabetes such as kidney damage, nerve issues, and vision problems.

The medicine may be prescribed on its own or along with other diabetes medicines. It is usually taken before or along with the first meal of the day. To gain maximum benefit, it should be taken regularly at the same time each day. The dosage is decided by the doctor depending on blood sugar levels and individual response to treatment.

Even if you feel well or your glucose levels seem controlled, you should not stop taking Glimy 2 Tablet without consulting your doctor, as this may cause sugar levels to rise again and increase the risk of complications. For best results, the medicine should be combined with lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet, daily exercise, and weight control.

Possible side effects
Some people may experience low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), nausea, headache, dizziness, weakness, or mild weight gain while taking this medicine. Signs of hypoglycemia include sweating, trembling, headache, or lightheadedness. To prevent sudden sugar drops, always eat regular meals and keep quick sources of sugar like fruit juice or glucose tablets with you. Alcohol should be avoided as it raises the risk of low blood sugar.
