Glyciphage-G 1 Tablet PR is a prescription medication typically used for the management of type 2 diabetes. It contains two main ingredients:
Metformin: This is an oral antidiabetic medication that belongs to the class of biguanides. It helps control blood sugar levels by improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin and reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
Glimepiride: This is a sulfonylurea that helps increase insulin secretion from the pancreas, aiding in better control of blood sugar levels.
Usage: Glyciphage-G is used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes, often as part of a broader treatment plan that includes diet and exercise.
Controlled release (PR): The "PR" (Prolonged Release) formulation allows the medication to be released slowly over time, helping to maintain a more consistent blood sugar level throughout the day.
Side Effects: Common side effects can include nausea, upset stomach, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and weight gain. Rare but serious side effects may include lactic acidosis (especially with metformin) or allergic reactions.
It’s important to take this medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider and to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while on this treatment
