Glimp 2 Tablet 10 may have the following common side effects:

Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)
Nausea
Dizziness
Increased skin sensitivity to sunlight

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Glimp 2 Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Glimp 2 Tablet 10 contains glimepiride (2 mg), which acts on your body in two main ways:

Stimulates Insulin Secretion: Glimepiride binds to specific receptors on pancreatic beta cells in your body. This action blocks potassium channels, triggering a series of reactions that result in increased insulin release.
Enhances Insulin Sensitivity: Apart from stimulating insulin secretion, glimepiride also enhances the sensitivity of body tissues to insulin. This increases glucose uptake from the bloodstream and promotes its utilization of energy in muscles and organs.

These dual actions effectively lower blood sugar levels, helping manage type 2 diabetes mellitus effectively.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Glimp 2 Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it's important to discuss this with your doctor before starting Glimp 2 Tablet 10.

Alcohol

Limit alcohol intake as it can interfere with diabetes control. This can cause flushing, nausea and blood pressure changes when combined with Glimp 2 Tablet 10.

Liver

It is advisable to discuss liver-related concerns with your doctor before starting treatment with Glimp 2 Tablet 10.

Kidney

Caution is advised before using Glimp 2 Tablet 10 if you have a history of any kidney problems. It is a good idea to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Allergy

Inform your doctor of any drug allergies, especially to sulfa medications, before starting Glimp 2 Tablet 10.

Children

Caution is advised while giving Glimp 2 Tablet 10 to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Kidney disease: In patients with kidney disease, the body may not clear glimepiride effectively, which could potentially lead to low blood sugar.

Adrenal or pituitary disorders: These conditions can alter the body’s response to low blood sugar, impacting the effectiveness of Glimp 2 Tablet 10.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take your medication at the scheduled time, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
