Glucoryl-M 2 Forte Tablet PR

Glucoryl-M 2 Forte Tablet PR is an oral medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It combines two active ingredients that help manage blood sugar levels effectively. This medicine is best taken with food, once daily, at the same time each day to ensure consistent blood sugar control. Your healthcare provider will determine the right dosage for you, which may be adjusted depending on your response and blood sugar readings. It is important to continue taking this medication even if you feel well, as stopping it without medical advice may cause blood sugar levels to rise, increasing the risk of serious complications like kidney damage, vision loss, nerve damage, or limb problems. Proper management of diabetes also involves following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a suitable weight as directed by your doctor.

The most frequent side effect associated with Glucoryl-M 2 Forte Tablet PR is hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. Be aware of symptoms such as sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking, and know how to respond by consuming quick sources of glucose like sugary snacks or fruit juice. It’s important to have regular meals and avoid alcohol, as drinking can raise the risk of hypoglycemia. Other possible side effects include nausea, diarrhea, changes in taste, stomach pain, headaches, and mild respiratory infections. Some patients may also experience weight gain.

This medicine should not be used by individuals with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Patients with a history of heart disease should discuss the suitability of this medication with their doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before using this drug. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, liver function, and kidney function is advised while taking Glucoryl-M 2 Forte Tablet PR.

The medication works through the combined effects of Glimepiride and Metformin. Glimepiride increases insulin secretion from the pancreas to reduce blood glucose levels, while Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver, slows glucose absorption from the intestines, and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin. This dual mechanism helps in effective blood sugar control.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s nearly time for your next dose, in which case skip the missed dose. Do not take two doses at once.

Use caution when consuming alcohol, as it is unsafe while on this medication. It is also not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by your doctor. Driving ability may be affected if blood sugar levels are too high or too low. Patients with kidney or liver disease should use this medicine under medical supervision, with possible dosage adjustments. It is not suitable for those with severe kidney or liver impairment.
