Reclimet-XR Forte Tablet

Reclimet-XR Forte Tablet is a medication designed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It combines two antidiabetic agents to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes.

This tablet should be taken alongside meals at a consistent time every day. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage, which may be adjusted over time depending on your blood sugar response. Continuing the treatment as directed is essential, even if your blood sugar appears controlled, because stopping abruptly could increase the risk of serious complications including kidney damage, nerve issues, vision problems, and limb-related complications.

Lifestyle and Diabetes Management
Medication works best when combined with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight. These lifestyle measures play a key role in effective blood sugar control.

Possible Side Effects
The most common concern is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can present as dizziness, sweating, headache, or shakiness. Keep a fast-acting source of glucose, such as fruit juice or sugary snacks, available. Alcohol consumption may increase the risk of hypoglycemia and should be avoided. Other potential side effects include nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headaches, taste changes, and occasional respiratory infections. Some individuals may experience weight gain.

Precautions
Reclimet-XR Forte Tablet is not suitable for individuals with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Inform your healthcare provider about any heart conditions or other significant health issues. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before use. Regular monitoring of blood sugar, as well as periodic blood tests to check liver function and blood counts, may be recommended.

How Reclimet-XR Forte Tablet Works

• Metformin, which reduces glucose production in the liver, improves glucose absorption, and enhances the body’s sensitivity to insulin

Administration Guidelines
Take the tablet as prescribed, swallowing it whole with food. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.
