Overview
Obimet GX Forte 2mg Tablet PR is an oral medication for adults with type 2 diabetes. It combines two active ingredients to help manage blood sugar levels and support long-term diabetes care.

How to Take
This medicine should be taken with meals to reduce the chance of stomach upset. Take it consistently at the same time each day. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and may adjust it based on your blood sugar readings. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your healthcare provider, as this may lead to complications such as kidney problems, nerve damage, vision issues, or limb complications.

Lifestyle Considerations
For the best results, use this medicine along with a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and proper weight management as advised by your doctor. Lifestyle changes play a key role in controlling diabetes effectively.

Possible Side Effects
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is the most frequent side effect. Symptoms may include sweating, dizziness, headache, or trembling. Always carry a source of fast-acting sugar like fruit juice or candy, and avoid alcohol, which can worsen low blood sugar.
