Obimet GX 1 Tablet PR

Product Overview
Obimet GX 1 Tablet PR is an anti-diabetic medication designed for adults with type 2 diabetes. It combines two active ingredients to help regulate blood sugar and support overall diabetes management.

Dosage Instructions
The tablet should be taken alongside meals to reduce stomach discomfort. Take it consistently at the same time every day. Your doctor will determine the right dose and may adjust it based on your blood sugar readings. Continue taking it even if your blood sugar appears normal, as stopping abruptly can increase the risk of complications, including kidney issues, nerve damage, eye problems, and limb complications.

Lifestyle Recommendations
This medicine works best when combined with a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and proper weight management as recommended by your healthcare provider. Managing your lifestyle is key to controlling diabetes effectively.

Potential Side Effects
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is the most common effect. Signs may include sweating, dizziness, shaking, and headaches. Keep a quick source of sugar, like fruit juice or candy, available, and avoid alcohol to reduce this risk. Other potential side effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, taste changes, headache, and respiratory infections. Some patients may gain weight while taking this medication.

Precautions
Do not take Obimet GX if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe liver or kidney disease. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine. Regular monitoring of blood sugar, liver function, and kidney function is recommended.

Uses

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Benefits
Obimet GX 1 Tablet PR combines Glimepiride and Metformin. Glimepiride stimulates insulin production in the pancreas, while Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, slows intestinal glucose absorption, and enhances the body’s response to insulin. Together, these actions help maintain blood sugar within a healthy range, lowering the risk of complications and supporting a healthy, active lifestyle.

How to Use
Follow the doctor’s instructions for dose and duration. Take the tablet with food and swallow it whole without crushing or chewing.
