Reclimet-XR Tablet

Reclimet-XR Tablet is a medication used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It combines two active antidiabetic agents that work together to help maintain normal blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.

This tablet is best taken with meals, preferably at the same time each day. The dosage will be determined by your doctor and may be adjusted depending on how your blood sugar responds. Continuing the medication as prescribed is important, even if your blood sugar appears normal, as stopping it suddenly can lead to serious complications including kidney problems, nerve damage, vision issues, or limb complications.

Lifestyle Considerations
Reclimet-XR Tablet is most effective when used alongside a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and weight management. These lifestyle measures support better control of blood glucose levels.

Common Side Effects
The most frequently observed effect is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which may present with symptoms such as sweating, dizziness, headache, or shaking. Always have a fast-acting glucose source, like fruit juice or sugar, on hand. Alcohol can increase the risk of hypoglycemia and should be avoided. Other side effects may include nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, headaches, taste changes, and occasional respiratory infections. Some users may experience weight gain.

Who Should Avoid This Medicine
Do not use Reclimet-XR Tablet if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Inform your doctor if you have heart problems or other significant medical conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using this medicine. Routine monitoring of blood sugar, liver function, and blood counts may be advised.

How Reclimet-XR Tablet Works

Swallow the tablet whole with food. Do not chew, crush, or split it. Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and schedule.
