Composition

Glimepiride (1 Mg) + Metformin (1000 Mg)

Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet is primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. This combination medicine belongs to the group of oral antidiabetic medications.

In addition to its primary role, this medicine also helps when diet and exercise alone do not provide sufficient control over blood glucose levels. It is particularly beneficial for patients whose diabetes is not adequately controlled with either glimepiride or metformin alone, or those who are already using separate tablets of these two ingredients.

Before starting this medication, it's crucial that you consult your doctor. Be sure to let them know about any pre-existing conditions or current medications you're on. If you notice any side effects while taking this medicine, inform your doctor immediately. It's important to continue the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet is used for managing the following conditions:

Regulating high blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Managing cases where diet and exercise alone do not provide sufficient blood sugar control.
Assisting adults whose diabetes is not adequately controlled on glimepiride or metformin alone.
Helping patients who are already being treated with separate tablets of glimepiride and metformin.

Side Effects of Isryl M 1 Forte Tablet 15

Taking Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet might cause the following side effects:

Hypoglycaemia
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
Flatulence
Feeling weak or lacking energy.
Dizziness

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve by discontinuing the use of Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some tips to help you manage common side effects:

To manage low blood sugar levels, ensure you're eating regular meals and snacks throughout the day.
Try taking Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet with meals to minimise the effects of gastrointestinal issues (nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, flatulence).

Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet combines two active ingredients:

Glimepiride (1 mg): This ingredient belongs to a class of medicines known as sulfonylureas. It functions by binding to receptors on the membrane of cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, stimulating them to secrete more insulin. Furthermore, it increases the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin and may reduce the production of glucose in the liver.
Metformin (1000 mg): Classified as a biguanide, metformin works by reducing the production of glucose in the liver and delaying its absorption in the intestines. It also improves insulin sensitivity, which enhances glucose uptake and utilisation in peripheral tissues.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet if you are pregnant. It's best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, consult your doctor before starting Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet.

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol while on Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet, as it increases the risk of lactic acidosis and can amplify the effect of hypoglycaemia.

Liver

If you have a history of liver issues, discuss them with your doctor before starting Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet. This medicine may affect liver function.

Kidney

This medicine should not be used if you have severe kidney impairment. If you have any kidney problems, always consult your doctor before taking Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet.

Using Machines & Driving

Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet can cause side effects like dizziness or asthenia (weakness). If affected, avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.

Allergy

If you are allergic to glimepiride, metformin or any other ingredients in Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet, avoid using this medicine.

Children

Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet is meant for adult use. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet under medical supervision, as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Interactions of Isryl M 1 Forte Tablet 15

Drug-Drug Interactions

Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Gemfibrozil: This cholesterol-lowering medicine can increase the blood-glucose-lowering effect of Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet, heightening the risk of hypoglycaemia.
NPH Insulin: When used together with this insulin, Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet may further lower blood glucose levels, potentially leading to hypoglycaemia.
High Protein-Bound Medicines: Medications like salicylates, sulfonamides, chloramphenicol and coumarins can interact with glimepiride in Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet. This could alter glucose levels, requiring close monitoring and possible dose adjustment.

Drug-Food Interactions

Consuming high-fibre foods might reduce the absorption of metformin in Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet, diminishing its effectiveness.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet interacts with the following diseases:

Renal Impairment: This condition can affect the elimination of both glimepiride and metformin from your body, potentially increasing the risk of side effects.
Liver Disease: If you have liver disease, your body's ability to clear metformin might be compromised. This could lead to an increased risk of lactic acidosis.
Congestive Heart Failure: Metformin in Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet could accumulate if your heart cannot pump blood effectively. This increases the risk of lactic acidosis.

Daily Dose

The Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet should be taken as your doctor prescribes. This dose can change, depending on how severe your condition is and how well you respond to the treatment. It's crucial to stick to the prescribed dosage and not exceed it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

Missed Dose

If you forgot to take the Isryl M-1 Forte Tablet as scheduled, take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosage schedule. Do not increase your dosage without consulting your doctor.
