Glycinorm-M 40 Tablet

GlYcInorm-M 40 Tablet – Product Description
Overview

GlYcInorm-M 40 Tablet is a prescription medicine used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two powerful anti-diabetic agents, Gliclazide and Metformin, to provide better control over high blood sugar levels when diet, exercise, and single therapy are not enough. By helping the body regulate glucose more effectively, this medicine reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, vision loss, nerve problems, and poor wound healing.

How to Use GlYcInorm-M 40 Tablet

Take the tablet with meals, exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Swallow whole with water; do not chew, break, or crush.

To achieve maximum benefit, take it at the same time daily.

Continue using the medicine even if your sugar levels are controlled, unless advised otherwise by your doctor.

Key Benefits

Controls blood sugar levels effectively in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Improves the body’s response to insulin while reducing glucose production in the liver.

Lowers the risk of long-term complications such as nerve damage, heart problems, kidney failure, and eye disorders.

Supports overall well-being and helps patients maintain an active lifestyle.

Works better than single-drug therapy in individuals who need stronger glucose control.

How GlYcInorm-M 40 Tablet Works

This medicine contains two active ingredients:

Gliclazide (Sulfonylurea): Increases insulin release from the pancreas, helping lower blood sugar.

Metformin (Biguanide): Reduces glucose production in the liver, slows down absorption of sugar from food, and enhances insulin sensitivity.

Together, they provide comprehensive management of type 2 diabetes by addressing both insulin deficiency and resistance.

Possible Side Effects

While most side effects are temporary, you should consult your doctor if they continue or worsen.

Common side effects may include:

Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia: sweating, dizziness, headache, shakiness)

Constipation, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, or flatulence

Headache or dizziness

Upper respiratory tract infections

Weight gain in some patients

⚠️ Tip: To avoid hypoglycemia, take meals regularly and always carry a quick source of sugar like glucose tablets, fruit juice, or candy. Alcohol should be avoided as it increases the risk of low blood sugar.
