ACCUGLIM 2MG TABLET 10S – The remarkable solution for a healthy life

Product Introduction:

Glimepiride is an oral antidiabetic medication belonging to the sulfonylurea class. It is commonly prescribed to individuals with type 2 diabetes to help manage blood sugar levels. Glimepiride works by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin and increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

Accuglim 2mg Tablet may be used alone or along with other medicines. It should be taken just before or with the first meal of the day. Take it regularly at the same time each day to get the maximum benefit. Your doctor will decide what dose is best for you and this may change from time to time according to your blood sugar levels.

Keep taking Accuglim 2mg Tablet, even if you feel well or your blood sugar levels are controlled. If you stop it without consulting your doctor, your blood sugar levels could rise to put you at risk of diabetes complications such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, and loss of limbs. Remember that it is only part of a treatment program that should also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight reduction as advised by your doctor. Your lifestyle plays a big part in controlling diabetes.

The most common side effects of taking Accuglim 2mg Tablet include low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), nausea, headache, weakness, and dizziness. Make sure you recognize the signs of having low blood sugar levels, such as sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking, and know how to deal with them. To prevent this, it is important to have regular meals and always carry a fast-acting source of glucose such as sugary food or fruit juice with you. Drinking alcohol can also increase your risk of low blood sugar levels and hence should be avoided. Some people may experience an increase in weight with this medicine.
