Mpride 1mg/500mg Tablet PR’1*15

Product Overview
Mpride 1mg/500mg Tablet PR is an anti-diabetic medication designed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It contains a combination of two active ingredients that work together to help regulate blood sugar levels.

This medication should be taken with meals to enhance absorption and reduce side effects. For best results, take it consistently at the same time every day. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dose based on your blood sugar response and may adjust it over time to optimize control.

It is important to continue using Mpride even if your blood sugar levels improve or you feel well. Stopping the medication without medical advice can lead to a rise in blood glucose, increasing the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, vision problems, nerve issues, and limb loss. Along with medication, following a healthy lifestyle—including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management—is crucial for managing diabetes effectively.

Common Side Effects
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is the most frequent side effect. Signs to watch for include sweating, dizziness, headache, and trembling. To avoid hypoglycemia, maintain regular meals and carry a quick source of sugar like fruit juice or candy. Alcohol intake can raise the risk of low blood sugar and should be avoided. Other potential side effects include taste alterations, nausea, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, headaches, and upper respiratory infections. Some patients may also experience weight gain.

Precautions
Mpride is not suitable for people with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver conditions. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, as this medication may not be appropriate. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this drug. Regular monitoring of blood sugar, kidney function, liver function, and blood counts may be required during treatment.

Uses
Mpride Tablet PR is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Benefits
The combination of Glimepiride and Metformin in Mpride helps the body produce more insulin and improves how the body uses glucose. Glimepiride stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while Metformin reduces glucose production by the liver, slows glucose absorption in the intestines, and increases insulin sensitivity. This helps lower blood sugar levels effectively, reducing the risk of complications and supporting a healthier lifestyle.

Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and tend to resolve as your body adjusts. If symptoms such as headache, nausea, diarrhea, or persistent hypoglycemia occur, consult your doctor.

How to Use
Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration. Take Mpride 1mg/500mg Tablet PR with food to improve tolerance and absorption.
