Pregnancy Interaction

• Do not take Glucoryl-MV 2 SR when you are pregnant.
• Glimepiride can make the blood sugar of a fetus or infant too low.
• There isn't enough safety evidence on voglibose for pregnant women.
• Metformin is pretty safe, although people don't usually use it with other drugs.
• Most pregnant women with diabetes switch to insulin therapy because it is safer and easier to regulate.
• Only use if a doctor tells you to, and only after weighing the pros and cons.

Faq For Medicine

Q1. What is Glucoryl-MV 2 SR used for?

It is used to help people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus when diet, exercise, and other simple treatments don't work.

Q2. What does SR mean?

SR stands for "Sustained Release," which means that metformin will slowly release its effects over a longer period of time and have less negative effects on the stomach.

Q3. When should I take it?

Doctors usually say to take it just before meals, especially breakfast and lunch.

Q4. Can it make your blood sugar low?

Yes, because of glimepiride.

Q5. Is it okay to drink alcohol while taking this medicine?

No. Alcohol raises the risk of lactic acidosis (metformin) and low blood sugar.

Q6. Is it safe for people with kidney problems?

Be careful. People with kidney problems should not take metformin or should have their dose changed.

Expert Advice

• Take this pill right before you eat.
• Don't miss meals after taking it; your blood sugar could drop too low.
• Keep sugar or glucose on hand in case of an emergency (hypoglycemia).
• Stay away from alcohol altogether.
• To better control your blood sugar, eat fewer carbs.
• Check your blood sugar, liver function, and renal function on a regular basis.
• Tell your doctor if you have severe stomach discomfort, quick breathing, or extreme weakness (this could be lactic acidosis).
• You must swallow SR tablets whole; do not break or chew them.

 Side Effects

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
• Gas and bloating
• Diarrhea
• Queasiness
• Pain in the stomach
• Pain in the head
• Weakness
• Feeling dizzy
• Not as Common:
• Taste of metal
• Mild weight gain (glimepiride)
• Rash on the skin
• Very serious:
• Very low blood sugar
• Lactic acidosis (rare but serious): fast breathing and extreme weakness
• Problems with the liver (yellow skin and eyes)
• Very bad allergic reactions (swelling, trouble breathing)

 How It Works

• Glucoryl-MV 2 SR operates in three ways:
• Glimepiride (2 mg)
• Makes the pancreas make more insulin.
• Decreases glucose levels before and after meals.
• Metformin SR
• Releases slowly to keep blood sugar levels stable.
• Lowers the amount of glucose the liver makes.
• Makes insulin work better.
• Lessens the absorption of glucose in the intestines.
• Voglibose (0.2 mg/0.3 mg)
• Slows down how quickly carbohydrates are digested and absorbed.
• Keeps blood sugar from going up too high after meals.
• Overall, better regulation of blood sugar levels before and after meals.

Medicine Interaction

• Be careful with:
• Drugs that cause low blood sugar
• Insulin
• Other sulfonylureas
• Beta-blockers (hide the signs of low blood sugar)
• Antibiotics
• Ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin change how much sugar is in your blood.
• Hormonal and steroid medicines
• Prednisolone
• Oral contraceptives raise blood sugar levels.
• Diuretics
• Furosemide (Change how well it controls glucose.)
• Booze
• Raises the chance of lactic acidosis and low blood sugar.
• Digestive enzymes and antacids
• If taken too close together, it may not work as well.

 How to Use

• As directed, take one tablet soon before meals, usually once or twice a day.
• Do not break or crush SR tablets; just swallow them whole.
• Keep the same time every day.
• After taking the drug, don't miss meals.
• Do not take two doses if you miss one.
• For the best results, stick to your food and exercise plan.
