Glimy-MP 1 Tablet SR

Glimy-MP 1 Tablet SR is a combination medicine prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to help regulate blood sugar levels. Along with a balanced diet and regular physical activity, it improves the way your body utilizes insulin, thereby bringing down elevated sugar levels.

This medicine should be consumed exactly in the dose and duration suggested by your doctor. It is preferably taken with food to prevent stomach irritation. If you forget to take a dose, have it as soon as you remember. If it’s already close to your next dose, skip the missed one—do not take two tablets at once. Taking too much may cause your blood sugar to fall excessively (hypoglycemia).

Some people may experience low blood sugar, especially if this medicine is combined with other anti-diabetic drugs, alcohol, or if meals are skipped. Regular monitoring of sugar levels is advised during treatment. Nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, dizziness, or weakness are some of the commonly observed side effects. In certain cases, bone fracture or respiratory infections may also occur.

Patients with kidney, liver, or heart conditions should inform their doctor before starting the medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women must also seek medical advice. Kidney function tests are usually done before beginning therapy. Alcohol intake should be avoided as it can increase side effects.

Main Use
Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Benefits
Glimy-MP 1 Tablet SR helps lower high blood glucose, improves insulin sensitivity, and reduces sugar absorption from the intestines. It also encourages the body to utilize insulin more effectively. By maintaining sugar levels within target range, it prevents long-term diabetes complications such as nerve damage, kidney problems, eye disorders, and poor wound healing. With proper diet and exercise, this medicine helps patients lead a healthier life.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects improve with time as your body adjusts. Seek medical advice if they become bothersome.

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea

• Stomach pain or discomfort

• Headache, dizziness, weakness

• Anemia (low red blood cell count)

• Sinus or respiratory tract infection

Directions for Use
Take the tablet whole with water, without crushing or breaking it. Always take it with food and exactly as advised by your doctor.

How It Works
Glimy-MP 1 Tablet SR contains three active ingredients:

• Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) increases the release of insulin from the pancreas.

• Metformin (a biguanide) decreases glucose production in the liver, slows intestinal absorption, and improves insulin sensitivity.

• Pioglitazone (a thiazolidinedione) further enhances the body’s response to insulin.
  Together, these mechanisms provide better sugar control when single or dual medicines are insufficient.

Precautions

• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol, as it can cause serious low blood sugar.

• Pregnancy: Not considered safe; consult your doctor for advice.

• Breastfeeding: May pass into breast milk; medical consultation is required.

• Driving: Low or high sugar levels can affect concentration—avoid driving if you feel unwell.

• Kidneys: Use cautiously in mild to moderate kidney issues; not recommended in severe kidney disease.

• Liver: Use with caution in liver problems; avoid in severe liver disease.

Missed Dose
If a dose is forgotten, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for the next one. Never double the dose to make up for the missed tablet.
