Reclimet OD 30

Reclimet OD 30 is an anti-diabetic medication used for adults living with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two active ingredients that work together to help maintain blood sugar levels within a healthy range, reducing the risk of complications linked to diabetes.

This medicine should be taken with meals and at the same time each day for consistent blood sugar control. Your healthcare provider will determine the ideal dose based on your response and blood sugar readings, which may be adjusted periodically. Continuing treatment as prescribed is important, even if you feel well, as stopping suddenly can cause blood sugar to rise and increase the likelihood of kidney, nerve, or vision problems.

Role of Lifestyle in Treatment
Medication alone is not sufficient to manage diabetes. Maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular exercise, managing weight, and following your doctor’s guidance are essential components of an effective diabetes management plan.

Potential Side Effects
Common side effects may include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), constipation, and vomiting. Recognizing symptoms of low blood sugar, such as sweating, dizziness, headache, or shakiness, is important. Carrying a quick source of sugar, like juice or glucose tablets, is advised. Alcohol consumption can increase the risk of hypoglycemia and should be avoided. Other possible effects include changes in taste, nausea, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, headache, and mild upper respiratory infections. Some patients may experience weight gain while using this medicine.

Precautions
Do not use Reclimet OD 30 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 or any hormonal disorders. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor prior to using this medication. Blood sugar levels should be regularly monitored, and periodic blood tests may be recommended to check liver function and overall health.

Uses

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Benefits
Reclimet OD 30 helps manage high blood sugar by bringing levels under control. Proper glucose management reduces the risk of complications, including nerve damage, kidney disease, and vision problems. Maintaining stable blood sugar also supports overall health and daily energy levels, enhancing quality of life.

How to Take
Follow the prescribed dose and schedule. Swallow the tablet whole with meals. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Regular timing enhances the effectiveness of treatment.

Mechanism of Action
Reclimet OD 30 combines Gliclazide and Metformin. Gliclazide stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, while Metformin improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin, allowing blood sugar to be effectively used for energy.
