Diarrhoea
Abdominal discomfort

Skin rash

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Aviglip 5 MG Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Hypoglycaemia: Consume a quick source of sugar, such as fruit juice, glucose tablets, or candy, to rapidly raise blood sugar levels.
Diarrhoea: Consider taking this medicine with a meal to lessen this effect.

Aviglip 5 MG Tablet 10 contains Glipizide (5 mg), which works in your body as follows:

Pancreatic Action: Glipizide stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin, which is essential for the body to use glucose effectively.
ATP-sensitive Potassium Channel Blocking: Glipizide blocks these channels in pancreatic beta cells by binding to them, leading to depolarisation of the beta cells.
Insulin Secretion: The depolarisation causes an influx of calcium ions, which further stimulates insulin secretion.
Glucose Utilisation: The increased insulin levels help lower blood glucose by enhancing glucose absorption in your body's peripheral tissues.
Decreased Glucose Production: Glipizide reduces glucose production in the liver simultaneously, thereby further helping to lower blood sugar levels.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Aviglip 5 MG Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Caution is needed when using Aviglip 5 MG Tablet 10 while breastfeeding. Always discuss this with your doctor before starting this medication.

Alcohol

Using Machines & Driving
