Metformin + Glimepiride Tablets
$500.00
Metformin + Glimepiride Tablets 500 mg is a combination oral medication used for the effective management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This combination offers dual mechanisms of action: Metformin (a biguanide) reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, while Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) stimulates the pancreas to release insulin. Together, these two active ingredients provide synergistic effects to control blood glucose levels, especially in patients who require more than one agent to achieve glycemic control. It is a convenient and effective therapy for patients whose blood sugar levels are not adequately managed by monotherapy or lifestyle changes alone.
Recommended Usage:
- Indications:
- Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults, particularly when diet, exercise, and monotherapy are insufficient to control blood glucose.
- Suitable for patients who benefit from both Metformin and Glimepiride in combination therapy.
- Dosage and Administration:
- Typically taken once daily with meals, preferably with breakfast, to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects and hypoglycemia.
- The dosage should be individualized based on the patient’s current treatment, blood glucose levels, and tolerability.
- Maximum daily dose should not exceed the prescribed limits set by the healthcare provider.
- Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is recommended to optimize the dose and prevent complications.
- Precautions:
- Not suitable for patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, severe renal or hepatic impairment, or known hypersensitivity to either active ingredient.
- Monitor for hypoglycemia, especially in elderly or malnourished patients, or those engaging in strenuous physical activity.
- Caution is advised for patients with a history of lactic acidosis or cardiovascular conditions.
- Avoid alcohol consumption to minimize the risk of lactic acidosis or hypoglycemia.
- Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if absolutely necessary and under medical supervision.
