Zoryl 0.5 Tablet

Product Introduction
Zoryl 0.5 Tablet belongs to a class of medicines called sulfonylureas and is primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It helps in regulating blood sugar levels, thereby reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney problems, nerve damage, and vision loss.

This medicine can be prescribed alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medicines. It should be taken right before or with your first meal of the day. For best results, take it at the same time every day. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage for you, which may be adjusted based on your blood sugar readings.

Even if your blood sugar levels improve or you start feeling well, continue taking this medication unless advised otherwise by your doctor. Stopping it suddenly can cause your sugar levels to rise, which may lead to serious health issues like kidney failure, nerve problems, or other diabetes complications. Along with taking this medicine, following a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are important for effective diabetes control.

Some common side effects of Zoryl 0.5 Tablet include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), nausea, headache, weakness, and dizziness. It is essential to recognize the symptoms of low blood sugar such as sweating, shaking, dizziness, and hunger. Always keep a quick source of glucose like sweets or juice handy to manage such situations. Alcohol consumption can increase the risk of hypoglycemia and should be avoided. Weight gain may also occur in some individuals while taking this medicine.

This medicine should not be used by individuals with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious condition caused by high blood sugar and ketones), or those with severe kidney or liver problems. Inform your doctor if you have heart disease, thyroid issues, or any hormonal imbalance before starting the treatment. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medication. Regular monitoring of blood sugar and occasional blood tests to check liver function and blood cell counts may be recommended.
