Gluconorm G 0.5 mg Tablet (10 Tab)

GlUcOnorm-G 0.5mg/500mg Tablet PR

GlUcOnorm-G 0.5mg/500mg Tablet PR is an anti-diabetic combination medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It contains Glimepiride and Metformin, which work together to improve insulin release, reduce glucose production in the liver, and enhance the body’s response to insulin. This helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels and lowers the risk of long-term diabetic complications.

It should be taken with food, preferably at the same time every day. Continue the medicine even if blood sugar levels are stable. Stopping it suddenly may cause sugar levels to rise and lead to kidney damage, vision issues, nerve problems, or diabetic foot complications. A proper diet, regular exercise, and weight management are essential along with this medicine.

The most common side effect is hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Symptoms include sweating, dizziness, shaking, and headache. Keep a fast-acting sugar source like glucose, sweets, or fruit juice with you. Alcohol increases the risk of hypoglycemia and should be avoided. Other possible side effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, taste changes, headache, or upper respiratory tract infection. Some people may also experience weight gain.

Do not use this medicine if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use. Regular blood sugar monitoring, along with periodic kidney and liver function tests, may be required.
