Glyciphage G1 Tablet 10

Glyciphage-G1 Tablet is used for the following:

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults: This medication is used when either glimepiride or metformin alone cannot sufficiently control blood sugar levels.

• Combination therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus: Glyciphage-G1 Tablet is beneficial for patients who require both an insulin secretagogue (glimepiride) and an insulin sensitizer (metformin) to effectively manage their blood sugar levels.

• Prevention of complications from type 2 diabetes mellitus: By reducing blood glucose levels, this medicine can help delay or prevent complications such as kidney damage, eye problems, nerve issues, and loss of limbs.

Glyciphage-G1 Tablet is taken orally.

Glyciphage-G1 Tablet includes two active ingredients:

• Metformin (500 mg): Metformin falls under the category of biguanides. Its primary function is to lower hepatic glucose production while increasing insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues and increasing glucose uptake by muscles. Metformin also helps delay glucose absorption from your intestines and promotes cellular glucose utilisation.

• Glimepiride (1 mg): This ingredient is a sulfonylurea type of medicine. It encourages the pancreatic beta cells in your body to produce and release more insulin. Glimepiride makes these cells more sensitive to glucose and stimulates insulin secretion accordingly. Additionally, it helps decrease glucose output from your liver and increases the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin.

  Through these combined actions, Glyciphage-G1 Tablet provides a comprehensive approach to managing blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.

1. Store your Glyciphage-G1 Tablet in a dry place, shielded from light and moisture.

2. The ideal storage temperature should be below 30°C.

• High-fibre foods: If you are managing type 2 diabetes with this medication, it's important to maintain a balanced diet. Try to include high-fibre foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains, which can help regulate your blood sugar levels.

• Physical activity: Regular physical activity is also crucial. Strive for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week, such as brisk walking or cycling. This can help enhance your body's sensitivity to insulin and manage your blood sugar levels effectively.
