GLUCONORM SR 1GM
₹64.80
GLUCONORM SR 1gm Tablet is a prescription medication containing metformin 1000 mg (sustained release formula) used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women. It helps control blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of serious diabetes complications like kidney damage and stroke.
Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Each sustained-release (SR) tablet contains Metformin Hydrochloride 1000 mg.
- Mechanism of Action: Metformin is a biguanide anti-diabetic agent that works by decreasing glucose production in the liver, delaying sugar absorption from the intestines, and enhancing the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
- Manufacturer: Lupin Ltd.
Uses
GLUCONORM SR 1gm Tablet is primarily used in conjunction with a proper diet and exercise program for:
- Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: It helps lower and control high blood sugar levels, reducing the long-term risk of complications such as nerve damage, eye damage, and kidney problems.
- Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): In women with PCOS, it can help manage symptoms by improving insulin sensitivity, lowering insulin and androgen levels, and restoring normal menstrual cycles.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects are usually mild and tend to disappear as the body adjusts to the medication.
- Common side effects:
- Diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting
- Abdominal pain or discomfort
- Loss of appetite and changes in taste (metallic taste)
- Headache
- Serious side effects (rare): A rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis can occur, especially in patients with severe kidney problems. Symptoms include rapid breathing, severe tiredness, unusual muscle pain, cold hands/feet, and stomach pain; seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Prolonged use may also lead to vitamin B12 deficiency.
Important Precautions
- Administration: The tablet should be taken with food to minimize stomach upset. It must be swallowed whole and not crushed, broken, or chewed, as this affects its sustained-release mechanism.
- Alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol intake while on this medication, as it can increase the risk of lactic acidosis.
- Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor about any existing kidney, liver, or heart problems, severe infections, or a history of allergic reactions to metformin before starting treatment.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It should only be used if the potential benefits outweigh the risks.
- Do not stop taking the medicine: Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor, even if your blood sugar levels are normal, as this can cause a rebound increase in blood sugar.
