Expert Advice

• After taking this strong combined dose, don't miss meals.
• Always have glucose tablets, a sweet drink, or cookies on hand to treat abrupt low sugar.
• Stay away from alcohol because it raises the risk of lactic acidosis and hypoglycemia.
• Check on a regular basis:
• Sugar levels before and after meals
• HbA1c
• Function of the liver and kidneys
• The amount of vitamin B12
• Follow the right diet for diabetics and work out every day.
• Let someone know right away if you have symptoms like shaking, sweating, dizziness, hunger, or confusion.

 How It Works

• 4 mg of glimepiride:
• A strong trigger for the pancreas to produce insulin.
• 1000 mg of metformin:
• Lowers the amount of glucose produced in the liver
• Makes insulin work better
• Helps muscle cells make better use of glucose
• Sustained impact → regulates sugar levels before and after meals
• When used together, they lower blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 diabetes.

Medicine Interaction

• Be careful when using with:
• Other diabetes medications (risk of very low blood sugar)
• Beta-blockers mask the indications of low blood sugar.
• Steroids, thyroid drugs, and diuretics all raise blood sugar levels.
• ACE inhibitors and ARBs change how well sugar works.
• Antifungals (fluconazole increases the impact of glimepiride)
• Antibiotics (ciprofloxacin may induce changes in blood sugar)
• Alcohol – increased chance of lactic acidosis and low blood sugar
• NSAIDs make Glimepiride's blood sugar-lowering impact stronger.
• Tell your doctor about all of the medications you are taking.

 How to Use

• Take one pill per day with breakfast or as instructed.
• Do not crumble or chew. Just swallow whole with water.
• Keep the same times for meals.
• If you miss a dosage, take it with your next meal. Don't take two doses.
• For long-term sugar control, use this.
