Glucoryl-M 1 Tablet PR

Product Overview

Glucoryl-M 1 Tablet PR is an anti-diabetic medication designed to help manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It combines two active ingredients that work together to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

This medicine should be taken with food, preferably at the same time each day to ensure optimal effectiveness. Your healthcare provider will determine the most suitable dose based on your response and blood sugar control, and adjustments may be made over time.

It’s important to continue taking Glucoryl-M 1 Tablet PR even if you feel well or your blood glucose appears controlled. Stopping the medication without medical advice can cause blood sugar to rise, increasing the risk of serious complications such as kidney damage, vision loss, nerve damage, and limb problems. Glucoryl-M 1 Tablet PR is part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, which should also include a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management as recommended by your doctor. Lifestyle changes play a crucial role in diabetes control.

The most frequently reported side effect is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Recognizing symptoms like sweating, dizziness, headache, and trembling is vital so that prompt action can be taken. To reduce the risk of hypoglycemia, maintain regular meals and carry a quick source of sugar, such as fruit juice or sugary snacks. Avoiding alcohol is also advised, as it may increase the likelihood of low blood sugar episodes. Other possible side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, headache, and respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur in some individuals taking this medication.

Glucoryl-M 1 Tablet PR should not be used by individuals with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver impairment. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, as this medication may not be suitable. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this treatment. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential, and your doctor might recommend periodic blood tests to check liver function and blood cell counts.

Uses

Glucoryl-M 1 Tablet PR is prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus by improving blood sugar control.

Benefits

The medication combines two antidiabetic agents—Glimepiride and Metformin. Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, while Metformin decreases glucose production by the liver, slows absorption of glucose from the gut, and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Together, they help maintain balanced blood sugar levels. Managing glucose effectively reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications, such as kidney issues, vision problems, nerve damage, and limb loss. Consistent use alongside diet and exercise helps patients maintain a healthy and normal lifestyle.

Possible Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and tend to improve as your body adjusts. However, consult your healthcare provider if symptoms persist or cause concern. Common side effects include:

• Headache

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

• Nausea

• Diarrhea

Directions for Use

Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Always take Glucoryl-M 1 Tablet PR with food to minimize stomach upset.

How It Works

Glucoryl-M 1 Tablet PR contains Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea that promotes insulin release from the pancreas, and Metformin, a biguanide that lowers liver glucose production, delays glucose absorption in the intestines, and improves insulin sensitivity.
