The tablet containing Gliclazide 80 mg, Metformin 500 mg, and Voglibose 0.3 mg is a prescription medication used to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults when single-drug therapies are insufficient.
Key Information
- Primary Use: Treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus to control high blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of long-term complications like kidney damage, vision problems, and nerve damage.
- Mechanism of Action:
- Gliclazide stimulates the pancreas to produce and release more insulin.
- Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and enhances the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
- Voglibose slows down the breakdown and absorption of complex carbohydrates in the intestines, which helps prevent sudden spikes in blood sugar levels after meals (postprandial hyperglycemia).
- Administration: It should be taken orally with food to minimize stomach upset, following the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not crush, break, or chew the tablet.
- Important Note: This medication is only one part of a complete treatment plan that should also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management as advised by your doctor.
Potential Side Effects and Warnings
Common side effects may include:
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels), which can cause sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking.
- Gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and flatulence.
- Taste changes.
Serious, but rare, side effects can include lactic acidosis (a build-up of lactic acid in the blood).
Consult your doctor if you experience:
- Symptoms of low blood sugar, and carry a quick source of sugar (e.g., candy, fruit juice) for immediate relief.
- Signs of lactic acidosis, such as unusual muscle pain, trouble breathing, or severe stomach pain.
- Symptoms of liver problems, such as yellowing of the skin or eyes.
Avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medication as it increases the risk of both hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis. Do not stop taking the medicine without consulting your doctor, as this could cause blood sugar levels to rise and lead to serious health complications.
