Product Overview
Obimet GX Forte 1mg Tablet PR is an anti-diabetic medication designed for adults with type 2 diabetes. It combines two active ingredients that work together to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
How to Take
Take the tablet with meals to reduce stomach discomfort. Consistency is important, so try to take it at the same time each day. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your blood sugar readings and overall health. Do not stop taking the medicine without consulting your doctor, even if your blood sugar is well-controlled. Stopping it suddenly may lead to complications such as kidney problems, nerve damage, vision issues, or increased risk of limb loss.
Lifestyle Considerations
Obimet GX Forte works best when combined with a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and weight management as advised by your healthcare provider. Your lifestyle plays a crucial role in managing diabetes effectively.
Possible Side Effects
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is the most common side effect. Signs include sweating, dizziness, shaking, and headache. Carry a quick source of sugar, such as fruit juice or candy, and avoid alcohol, as it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Other possible side effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, taste changes, and upper respiratory tract infections. Some patients may experience slight weight gain.
Precautions
Do not use Obimet GX Forte if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver problems. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before use. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor liver function, kidney function, and blood sugar levels.

Benefits

Regular use, alongside proper diet and exercise, supports a healthy and normal lifestyle.
