Diapride M1 Forte Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when diet and exercise alone are not enough to control blood sugar levels. It is a combination medicine that belongs to the class of oral antidiabetic medications.

This medicine helps control blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is typically prescribed when treatment with a single medicine does not achieve adequate blood sugar control, making it an effective option for those requiring additional help with managing their diabetes.

The medicine should be taken as directed by your doctor. Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions you may have or any other medications you are currently taking. If you notice any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. Continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor to achieve optimal results.

Diapride M1 Forte Tablet is used for the following:

Managing type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults
Controlling blood sugar when diet and exercise aren't enough
Regulating glucose levels in diabetic patients
Improving glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes
Supplementing diabetes management when single medicines fail
Enhancing insulin sensitivity in diabetic patients
Reducing excessive glucose production by the liver
Boosting insulin secretion in type 2 diabetic patients
Decreasing intestinal glucose absorption in diabetics

Directions for Use of Diapride M1 Forte Tablet 10

Follow these instructions while taking Diapride M1 Forte Tablet:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not split, crush, or chew the tablet as this may affect how it works.
Take the medicine at the same time daily to benefit from its efficacy.
Never change your dose without consulting your doctor first.
Continue taking this medicine regularly, even when you feel well.

Diapride M1 Forte Tablet is taken orally.

Side Effects of Diapride M1 Forte Tablet 10

Diapride M1 Forte Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Diarrhoea
Nausea
Vomiting
Abdominal pain
Headache
Dizziness
Upper respiratory tract infection: This refers to infections affecting your nose, sinuses, and throat, causing symptoms like a runny nose, sore throat, or cough.
Hypoglycaemia: This is when your blood sugar drops too low, causing symptoms like sweating, shakiness, confusion, and hunger.
Vitamin B12 deficiency: Long-term use of this medicine may reduce vitamin B12 levels in your body, potentially causing tiredness, weakness, or nerve problems.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Diapride M1 Forte Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Nausea and vomiting: Taking Diapride M1 Forte Tablet with your evening meal can help reduce these symptoms.
Diarrhoea: This side effect can be minimised by taking your medicine with food rather than on an empty stomach.

Diapride M1 Forte Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Glimepiride (1 mg): This component stimulates the pancreas to secrete more insulin. It binds to special receptors on pancreatic beta cells, causing them to release insulin into the bloodstream. Glimepiride also increases the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin, enhancing glucose uptake and utilisation.
Metformin (1000 mg): As a biguanide, metformin reduces glucose production in the liver. It decreases intestinal glucose absorption and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation. Metformin does not stimulate insulin secretion, which means it is less likely to cause hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) when used alone.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Diapride M1 Forte Tablet if you are pregnant. Poorly controlled diabetes during pregnancy can increase risks for both mother and baby. Your doctor will need to assess the benefits versus risks and may recommend alternative options for managing your blood sugar levels during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding

Caution is advised while taking Diapride M1 Forte Tablet during breastfeeding. The medicine ingredients can pass into breast milk and might affect your baby. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine while nursing, as they may recommend a different approach to manage your diabetes.

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol completely while taking Diapride M1 Forte Tablet. Alcohol can increase your risk of developing lactic acidosis (a rare but serious condition due to high levels of lactic acid in the blood) and can also cause low blood sugar levels (hypoglycaemia).

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Diapride M1 Forte Tablet if you have liver problems. This medicine is not recommended for people with liver impairment as it may increase the risk of lactic acidosis. Tell your doctor about any liver conditions before starting this medicine.

Kidney

Diapride M1 Forte Tablet is warned against use if you have severe kidney problems. If you have mild to moderate kidney issues, your doctor will need to monitor your kidney function regularly. The medicine may need to be stopped if your kidney function worsens.

Using Machines & Driving

Take care while driving or operating machinery when using Diapride M1 Forte Tablet. This medicine may cause dizziness or low blood sugar levels, which could affect your concentration and reaction time. If you experience these symptoms, avoid these activities until you feel better.

Allergy

If you have a known allergy to glimepiride, metformin, or any similar medicines, do not take Diapride M1 Forte Tablet. Tell your doctor about all your allergies before starting this medicine. Allergic reactions can be serious and require immediate medical attention.

Children

Caution is advised regarding Diapride M1 Forte Tablet use in children under 18 years. This medicine has not been tested in children and is meant for adults with type 2 diabetes. It is best to consult your doctor about appropriate diabetes management options for children.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Diapride M1 Forte Tablet under close medical supervision. If you are elderly, you may be more sensitive to its effects and have a higher risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). Your doctor will likely monitor your kidney function more frequently, as kidney function often declines with age.

Interactions of Diapride M1 Forte Tablet 10

Drug-Drug Interactions

Diapride M1 Forte Tablet can interact with the following medicines:

Cationic medicines: Medicines like amiloride, digoxin, and trimethoprim may reduce metformin elimination, increasing the risk of lactic acidosis.
Diuretics: Thiazides like hydrochlorothiazide and other diuretic medicines such as furosemide may cause hyperglycaemia, reducing the effectiveness of Diapride M1 Forte Tablet.
Corticosteroids: Medicines like prednisolone and dexamethasone may lead to loss of blood sugar control by causing hyperglycaemia.
Calcium channel blockers: These medicines may affect blood glucose levels and reduce the effectiveness of glimepiride and metformin.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Diapride M1 Forte Tablet may interact with the following diseases:

Renal impairment: This medicine is warned against use in severe kidney disease as it increases the risk of lactic acidosis.
Hepatic impairment: Liver disease patients should avoid this medicine as it may increase the risk of lactic acidosis.
Congestive heart failure: Patients requiring pharmacological treatment for heart failure should not take this medicine due to increased risk of complications.
Metabolic acidosis: This medicine is contraindicated in patients with acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Diapride M1 Forte Tablet should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Your dosage may change based on your blood sugar control and how your body responds to the medicine. Never adjust the dose without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

Taking too much Diapride M1 Forte Tablet may cause low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), dizziness, confusion, excessive sweating, and stomach discomfort. You might also experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and weakness. Contact your doctor if these symptoms occur.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take Diapride M1 Forte Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Never take a double dose.

Store Diapride M1 Forte Tablet at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.
Protect the medicine from light and moisture.
Keep the tablets in their original container, tightly closed.
Store all medicines out of reach of children.
Do not use this medicine after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

Monitor your carbohydrate intake throughout the day, focusing on complex carbohydrates (like whole grains and vegetables) rather than simple sugars to help maintain steady blood glucose levels.
Engage in regular physical activity, such as brisk walking for 30 minutes daily, which helps your body use insulin more effectively and improves blood sugar control.
