Glimepiride 2 mg + Pioglitazone 15 mg + Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg ER Tabs- GA
₹71.25
The medication containing Glimepiride 2 mg, Pioglitazone 15 mg, and Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg Extended Release (ER) tablets is used to treat Type 2 diabetes mellitus when blood sugar levels cannot be controlled effectively by diet, exercise, or single/dual therapy alone.
Key Information
- Primary Use: Management of high blood glucose (sugar) levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes.
- Mechanism of Action: The three ingredients work synergistically:
- Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin.
- Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
- Pioglitazone further enhances the sensitivity of muscle, fat, and liver cells to the insulin produced.
- Administration: It should be taken orally, typically once or twice a day with food to minimize stomach upset. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not chewed, crushed, or broken.
- Expected Outcome: This combination helps achieve better and more stable long-term blood sugar control, which in turn reduces the risk of serious diabetes complications such as kidney damage, eye problems, nerve issues (neuropathy), and cardiovascular disease.
Common Side Effects
Most side effects are temporary and do not require medical attention. Consult your doctor if they persist or worsen.
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level)
- Nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, vomiting
- Headache, dizziness
- Edema (swelling, particularly in legs/feet)
- Anemia
- Upper respiratory tract infection
- Weight gain
Important Warnings and Precautions
- Hypoglycemia Management: The medication can cause low blood sugar. Always carry a quick source of sugar (e.g., fruit juice, glucose tablets, or hard candy) to treat symptoms like cold sweats, tremor, anxiety, or fast heartbeat.
- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol consumption as it can increase the risk of hypoglycemia and a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis.
- Health Conditions: Inform your doctor about any pre-existing kidney, liver, or heart problems (especially congestive heart failure), or a history of bladder cancer, as these conditions may affect the suitability of this medication.
- Monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood sugar, kidney function, and liver function is important while on this treatment.
