Managing type 2 diabetes in adults: This medicine helps control blood glucose levels in adults who have type 2 diabetes and have not achieved adequate control with either glimepiride or metformin alone.
Reducing the risk of long-term complications related to diabetes: Regular use can lower the chances of developing serious health issues such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, limb amputations, and cardiovascular disorders.

Directions for Use of Glimy M 1 Tablet 15

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush, cut or chew the tablet.
Always take this medicine during or immediately after a meal to reduce stomach upset.
It is advisable to take your dose at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of medicine in your body.
Don't change your dose or stop taking this medicine without first consulting your doctor.

Glimy M1 Tablet is taken orally.

Hypoglycaemia refers to low blood sugar levels, and symptoms include shakiness, hunger, sweating, headache, and blurred vision.
Nausea
Diarrhoea
Abdominal discomfort

Managing the Side Effects:

Hypoglycaemia: Carry a sugary snack or drink to raise blood glucose levels if this side effect occurs.
Diarrhoea: Take your Glimy M1 Tablet with food to potentially lessen this effect.

Metformin (500 mg): This biguanide reduces the amount of glucose produced by your liver. Additionally, it enhances your body's insulin sensitivity which allows your body to use insulin more efficiently. Metformin also slows down glucose absorption from your intestines.
Glimepiride (1 mg): This sulfonylurea stimulates the pancreas to secrete more insulin. It attaches itself to receptors on pancreatic beta cells, which leads them to release more insulin. This increase in insulin levels enables more glucose from the bloodstream to enter the cells.

Pregnancy

If you're pregnant, be careful while taking Glimy M1 Tablet. Ideally, consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Glimy M1 Tablet is not recommended if you're breastfeeding. Discuss the potential risks and benefits with your doctor before use.

Alcohol

Avoid consuming alcohol while on Glimy M1 Tablet as it may increase the risk of lactic acidosis. Consult your doctor for further guidance.

Liver

In case of mild to moderate liver impairment, take Glimy M1 Tablet with caution. It's not recommended if you have severe liver diseases. Always inform your doctor about any liver problems prior to starting this medicine.

Kidney

Use Glimy M1 Tablet with care if you have a history of kidney issues. Consult your doctor for advice before starting this medication.

Using Machines & Driving

No specific precautions are needed when driving or operating heavy machinery while taking Glimy M1 Tablet. However, always stay alert for any side effects that might affect your ability to do so.

Allergy

Avoid Glimy M1 Tablet if you are allergic to glimepiride, metformin, or any of its other ingredients. Inform your doctor about any known allergies beforehand.

Children

Taking Glimy M1 Tablet is generally not advised in children below 18 years of age. Always consult a doctor before giving any medication to a child.

Older Patients

If you're an older patient, use Glimy M1 Tablet under medical supervision due to increased susceptibility to its side effects. Especially if you are above 70 years of age or have liver and kidney issues, discuss with your doctor to make an informed decision based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Renal function impairing medications: Medicines like cimetidine, which affect kidney function, may increase the risk of lactic acidosis when co-administered with metformin, a component of Glimy M1 Tablet.
Hyperglycemia-inducing medicines: Medicines such as thiazides, corticosteroids, and phenytoin can increase blood sugar levels and thereby reduce the effectiveness of Glimy M1 Tablet in controlling glucose levels.
Beta-blockers: These medicines can hide symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and delay recovery from a hypoglycemic episode.
Hypoglycemia potentiating medications: Some medications, such as salicylates, sulfonamides, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors, can enhance the blood sugar-lowering effect of glimepiride, a component of Glimy M1 Tablet.

Drug-Food Interactions

High-fibre foods: Foods rich in fibre may decrease the absorption and effectiveness of metformin in Glimy M1 Tablet.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Severe renal impairment: This medication is contraindicated in patients with severe kidney disease as it could worsen their condition.
Diabetic ketoacidosis: As an oral antidiabetic medication, Glimy M1 Tablet is not suitable for managing this acute complication of diabetes.
Metabolic acidosis: Patients with this condition should not use Glimy M1 Tablet as it may exacerbate their symptoms.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Glimy M1 Tablet is as recommended by your doctor. It depends on individual factors, such as the condition's severity and your response to treatment. It's crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and not exceed it without your doctor's guidance.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more than the prescribed dose, you might experience common side effects like nausea, diarrhoea or low blood sugar. If these symptoms persist or get worse, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose of Glimy M1 Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. But if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Don't increase your dosage without consulting your doctor.

Securely store Glimy M1 Tablet at a cool room temperature, below 30°C.
Avoid exposure to light and moisture.
Keep the medicine unreachable by children.
Discard any unused tablets after the expiry date mentioned on the package.

A low-sugar diet can help manage blood sugar levels, so consider reducing your intake of sweet foods and drinks.
Regular physical activity is beneficial in managing Type 2 diabetes. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking, every day.
