GLYCIGON MSR

Product Overview

Glycigon-M SR Tablet is a dual-action medicine used for managing type 2 diabetes in adults. It contains a combination of two antidiabetic agents that help regulate blood sugar levels effectively.

Administration

This tablet should be taken with meals for optimal effect. Take it consistently at the same time each day to maintain steady levels in your system. Your doctor will determine the correct dose and may adjust it depending on your blood sugar response.

Continue the treatment even if your blood sugar appears normal, as stopping without medical guidance can lead to increased glucose levels and serious complications, including kidney damage, nerve problems, vision issues, or limb complications. Alongside this medication, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and healthy lifestyle practices are essential to managing diabetes.

Potential Side Effects

Common side effects include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), constipation, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, and mild upper respiratory symptoms. Be aware of signs of low blood sugar, such as sweating, shakiness, dizziness, and headaches. Keep a quick source of sugar like fruit juice or glucose tablets handy. Alcohol consumption may increase the risk of hypoglycemia and should be avoided. Some patients may experience weight gain during treatment.

Precautions

Do not use this medicine if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disorders. Inform your doctor about any heart conditions before starting treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice prior to use. Regular monitoring of blood sugar, liver function, and kidney function is recommended, and your doctor may advise periodic blood tests.

Uses and Benefits

Glycigon-M SR Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps maintain blood glucose within normal limits, reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, nerve damage, and vision problems. By controlling sugar levels, it supports overall health and improves quality of life for individuals with diabetes.

How It Works

The tablet combines Gliclazide, which stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, and Metformin, which improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production in the liver. Together, they help control blood sugar effectively.

Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole with food and do not crush, chew, or break it.
