Glimepiride 1 Mg + Metformin 1000 Mg (SR) Tabs- GA
₹67.89
The medication you are referring to, containing Glimepiride 1 mg and Metformin 1000 mg (SR) tablets, is a prescription-only combination drug used for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. The “SR” or “PR” (sustained/prolonged release) indicates that the metformin component is released slowly to improve tolerability and maintain consistent blood sugar control.
Key Information
- Primary Use: To improve glycemic control (blood sugar levels) in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are not enough.
- Mechanism of Action:
- Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin.
- Metformin (a biguanide) lowers glucose production in the liver, reduces glucose absorption from the intestines, and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
- Administration:
- It should be taken with food to reduce stomach upset.
- Take it whole; do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.
- It is typically prescribed once daily, often with the first main meal.
- Follow your doctor’s dosage and administration instructions precisely.
Important Considerations and Warnings
- Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar): The most common side effect is low blood glucose. You should recognize symptoms (sweating, dizziness, headache, shaking) and always carry a fast-acting source of sugar (e.g., glucose tablets, fruit juice, honey) to treat it.
- Lactic Acidosis: Metformin carries a rare but serious risk of lactic acidosis, a medical emergency caused by excess lactic acid in the blood. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience muscle pain, difficulty breathing, persistent nausea/vomiting, or stomach pain.
- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medication as it significantly increases the risk of hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor immediately if you are pregnant or planning to be.
- Pre-existing Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or heart disease, as this medication may not be suitable or may require dose adjustment.
- Monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, as well as kidney and liver function tests, is essential.
