Product Introduction:
Amaryl MV 1mg Tablet is a medication combining three active ingredients: Glimepiride (1mg), Metformin (500mg), and Voglibose (0.2mg). Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea, Metformin is a biguanide, and Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor. This combination is used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus by targeting multiple pathways involved in glucose regulation.
Amaryl MV 1mg Tablet should be taken with food. Take it regularly at the same time each day to get the most benefit. Your doctor will decide what dose is best for you and this may change from time to time according to how it is working according to your blood sugar levels.
Keep taking this medicine, 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 and put you at risk of 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 effect of Amaryl MV 1mg Tablet is low blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia). Make sure you recognize the signs of having low blood glucose levels, such as sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking and know how to deal with it. To prevent this, it’s 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 should be avoided. Other side effects that may be seen on taking this medicine include taste changes, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, edema (swelling), blurred vision, bone fracture, and upper respiratory tract infection. Some people may find that they put on weight with this medicine.
You should not take it if you have type 1 diabetes mellitus, if you have diabetic ketoacidosis (high levels of acid in your blood), or if you have severe kidney or liver disease. Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have ever had heart disease. It may not be suitable. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it. Your blood sugar levels should be checked regularly and your doctor may also advise blood tests to monitor your blood cell counts and liver function.
Benefits:
- Blood Sugar Control: Amaryl MV 1mg Tablet helps regulate blood sugar levels effectively through various mechanisms. Glimepiride stimulates insulin release, Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production, and Voglibose delays carbohydrate absorption in the intestine.
- Weight Management: Metformin and Voglibose components of Amaryl MV may aid in weight management. While Metformin generally does not cause weight gain and may even promote weight loss, Voglibose can help in preventing postprandial hyperglycemia without causing weight gain.
- Reduced Postprandial Glucose Spikes: Voglibose inhibits alpha-glucosidase enzymes in the intestine, slowing down carbohydrate digestion and absorption, thereby reducing postprandial glucose spikes.
