Product Introduction:
ADGLIM MP 1MG TABLET is likely a combination medication containing Glimepiride (1mg), Metformin (500mg), and Pioglitazone (15mg). This combination is often prescribed for individuals with type 2 diabetes to address multiple aspects of glucose regulation. Glimepiride stimulates insulin release, Metformin improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production, while Pioglitazone enhances insulin action in peripheral tissues.
ADGLIM MP 1MG TABLET should be taken in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. It must be taken with food to avoid stomach upset. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose. Overdose may lead to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Some people may develop hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) when this medicine is taken along with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol or upon skipping a meal. Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while taking it. Other common side effects of this medicine include nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, bone fracture, and respiratory tract infection.
Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any kidney, liver or heart problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it. Your doctor will check your kidney function tests before starting treatment with it. Avoid excessive alcohol intake while taking it as this may increase the risk of developing some side effects.
