Glycigon M Tab.

Product Overview

Glycigon-M Tablet is an anti-diabetic medication designed for adults with type 2 diabetes. It combines two active ingredients to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels and support overall diabetes management.

How to Take It

This medicine should be taken with meals. Taking it consistently at the same time each day helps maintain stable blood sugar control. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and may adjust it according to your blood sugar readings.

It is important to continue using this medication even if your blood sugar appears controlled or you feel well. Stopping the treatment without medical guidance can lead to elevated blood sugar, increasing the risk of complications like kidney damage, nerve problems, vision issues, and in severe cases, limb damage. Along with medication, following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a proper lifestyle are essential for effective diabetes management.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects may include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), constipation, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, flatulence, taste disturbances, stomach discomfort, or mild respiratory infections. Signs of low blood sugar can include sweating, shakiness, headache, and dizziness. To manage this, eat regular meals and keep a quick source of glucose, such as fruit juice or sugary snacks, nearby. Alcohol can increase the risk of low blood sugar and should be avoided. Some individuals may experience weight gain while taking this medication.

Precautions

This tablet should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Patients with a history of heart disease should inform their doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before using this medicine. Regular monitoring of blood sugar and occasional blood tests may be advised to check liver function and blood cell counts.

Uses and Benefits

Glycigon-M Tablet is prescribed for type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps regulate blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of long-term complications such as kidney damage, nerve disorders, and vision problems. By maintaining better sugar control, it also supports overall health and improves quality of life.

How It Works

The tablet contains Gliclazide, which stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, and Metformin, which decreases liver glucose production and improves the body’s response to insulin. The combination effectively lowers blood sugar levels.

Administration Guidelines

Take the tablet as directed by your healthcare provider. Swallow it whole with food and do not crush, chew, or break it.
