Glucoryl MV1/0.3 Tablet SR

Product Overview
Glucoryl MV1/0.3 Tablet SR is an antidiabetic medication used in adults to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. This combination therapy helps regulate blood sugar levels when used alongside diet and exercise.

The medication should be taken with or right before meals, at the same time every day to ensure consistent blood sugar control. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage based on your blood glucose response and may adjust it over time for optimal results.

Even if your blood sugar levels improve or you feel well, it’s important to continue taking this medicine as prescribed. Stopping treatment without consulting your doctor can lead to elevated blood sugar levels, increasing the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, vision loss, nerve issues, and limb problems. Remember, managing diabetes requires a holistic approach including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Possible Side Effects
Common side effects of Glucoryl MV1/0.3 Tablet SR include nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, and loss of appetite. It’s important to recognize symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) such as sweating, dizziness, headaches, and shakiness, and to respond appropriately. To avoid hypoglycemia, maintain regular meal times and always keep a quick source of sugar, like fruit juice or glucose tablets, handy.

Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can increase the risk of low blood sugar. Additional side effects may include changes in taste, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headaches, swelling (edema), blurred vision, bone fractures, and upper respiratory tract infections. Some patients may experience weight gain while on this medication.

Who Should Not Use This Medication?
Glucoryl MV1/0.3 Tablet SR is not suitable for patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe liver or kidney problems. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, as this medication may not be appropriate for you. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before starting this treatment. Regular monitoring of blood sugar and periodic blood tests to check liver function and blood cell counts may be required.

Uses
This medication is prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus by controlling elevated blood glucose levels. It slows the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simple sugars in the intestine, reducing the post-meal rise in blood sugar. It also assists in eliminating excess glucose through urine. Proper blood sugar control is vital to lower the risk of severe diabetic complications such as kidney, eye, nerve damage, and limb loss.

Additionally, Glucoryl MV1/0.3 Tablet SR may reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease in patients who already have type 2 diabetes with existing heart problems. Adhering to your medication routine along with a healthy lifestyle will help maintain overall wellbeing.

How to Take Glucoryl MV1/0.3 Tablet SR
Take the tablet whole, without chewing or crushing, as directed by your healthcare provider. It is important to take this medication with meals.

Mechanism of Action
Glucoryl MV1/0.3 Tablet SR combines three antidiabetic agents: glimepiride, metformin, and voglibose, which work together to improve blood sugar control. Glimepiride stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas. Metformin reduces glucose production by the liver, delays absorption of sugar from the gut, and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Voglibose inhibits enzymes that break down complex sugars, preventing sharp increases in blood sugar after eating.
