Zoryl MV 1/0.3 Tablet SR

Introduction
Zoryl MV 1/0.3 Tablet SR is an anti-diabetic medicine used in adults to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines three medicines that work together to regulate blood sugar levels effectively. This helps in preventing complications associated with diabetes such as kidney problems, nerve damage, and vision issues.

The tablet should be taken with meals or just before eating. It’s important to take it regularly, at the same time every day, for the best results. Your doctor will decide the correct dosage based on your blood sugar readings and overall health condition.

Even if you start feeling better or your sugar levels are stable, do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Stopping suddenly can cause your blood sugar to rise, increasing the risk of severe diabetes-related complications. Along with this medication, following a healthy diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a proper weight are crucial to control diabetes effectively.

Some common side effects you might experience include nausea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, or diarrhea. Be aware of symptoms of low blood sugar such as dizziness, sweating, headache, or shaking. Carry a quick source of sugar like glucose tablets or fruit juice to manage sudden low sugar levels. Avoid alcohol, as it can increase the chances of hypoglycemia. Other possible side effects may include swelling, blurred vision, weight gain, upper respiratory tract infections, or changes in taste.

This medicine is not suitable for individuals with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver conditions. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of heart disease, discuss it with your doctor before using this medication. Routine blood sugar monitoring and occasional blood tests are advised to check liver function and blood counts during treatment.

Uses

• Helps manage type 2 diabetes mellitus

Benefits
Zoryl MV 1/0.3 Tablet SR helps in lowering blood sugar by slowing down the conversion of food into glucose, reducing spikes in sugar levels after meals. It also helps in removing extra glucose from the body through urine. Keeping blood sugar levels under control significantly lowers the risk of complications such as kidney failure, nerve issues, eye problems, and limb damage.

If you have both type 2 diabetes and heart problems, this medicine may also reduce the chances of cardiovascular complications. Regular use along with lifestyle changes like healthy eating and exercise helps you lead a healthier and more active life.

Possible Side Effects

• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Stomach pain
• Loss of appetite
• Low blood sugar

These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

How to Take
Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole with water, without crushing or breaking it. It should always be taken with food to avoid stomach irritation and to work effectively.

How It Works
This medicine contains three active ingredients: glimepiride, metformin, and voglibose.

• Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps lower blood sugar levels.
• Metformin decreases sugar production in the liver, delays sugar absorption from food, and improves the body’s response to insulin.
• Voglibose slows down the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simple sugars, preventing sharp increases in blood sugar levels after meals.

Precautions

• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol as it may cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar.
• Pregnancy: Use only if prescribed by your doctor, as it may not be completely safe during pregnancy.
• Breastfeeding: It is not recommended as the drug may pass into breast milk.
• Driving: If you experience symptoms of low or high blood sugar, avoid driving or operating machinery.
• Kidney Issues: Not recommended for patients with severe kidney problems.
• Liver Issues: Use with caution if you have liver disease; dosage adjustments may be required.

Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed tablet.
