Composition

Glimepiride (1 Mg) + Metformin (1000 Mg)

Gemer DS 1 Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults when diet, exercise, and a single medicine are not enough to control blood sugar. Better blood sugar control helps reduce long-term complications.

It contains glimepiride and metformin. Take it with the first main meal of the day as prescribed to reduce the chance of stomach upset and the risk of low blood sugar. Do not skip meals.

Diet and lifestyle remain important while taking this medicine. Regular balanced meals, controlled carbohydrate intake, staying active, and keeping to a healthy weight all help keep blood sugar steady.

Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems or if you drink alcohol regularly. Because it contains glimepiride, learn to recognise and treat the signs of low blood sugar. Tell your doctor if you are unwell with vomiting or dehydration. Speak to your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Gemer DS 1 Tablet is used in adults with type 2 diabetes to control blood sugar when one medicine alone is not enough.

Uses of Gemer DS 1 Tablet are:

Type 2 Diabetes: Helps control blood sugar levels when single-agent therapy is insufficient.
Complication Prevention: Better control helps reduce the long-term risk of complications such as heart, kidney, and nerve complications.

Here's how you should take Gemer DS 1 Tablet:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not chew, crush, or split the tablet.
Always follow the dose recommended by your doctor and don't adjust it without consulting your doctor first.

Gemer DS 1 Tablet is taken orally.

Gemer DS 1 Tablet may cause some side effects that are usually mild and go away as your body adjusts to the medicine.

A few common side effects of Gemer DS 1 Tablet:

Low Blood Sugar: Hypoglycaemia causing dizziness; treat promptly with a sugary drink or glucose.
Digestive: Loose motions (diarrhoea), feeling sick (nausea), and vomiting. Taking it with food may help.
Neurological: Headache and dizziness.
Respiratory: Upper respiratory tract infections.

If side effects do not improve or become serious, speak to your doctor right away.

Management Of Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Gemer DS 1 Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are a couple of tips that might help manage some of these side effects:

Diarrhoea: Try taking Gemer DS 1 Tablet with food or milk.
Hypoglycaemia: Consider taking this medicine with meals to lessen this effect.

Gemer DS 1 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Glimepiride (1 mg): As a medium-to-long-acting sulfonylurea, glimepiride works by stimulating your pancreas's beta cells, causing them to produce more insulin. This action helps lower blood glucose levels.
Metformin (1000 mg): This biguanide reduces intestinal glucose absorption and decreases hepatic glucose production. It improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation. The extended-release formulation prolongs metformin absorption in the upper gastrointestinal tract, allowing for a steady release of the medication over time.

The combined action of these two components provides better glycemic control than either component used alone.

Pregnancy

Gemer DS 1 Tablet should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the unborn baby. To understand the risks and benefits, it is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Gemer DS 1 Tablet is secreted in human milk. If you are breastfeeding, you should stop nursing or stop using this medicine. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Alcohol

Avoid excessive alcohol intake while taking Gemer DS 1 Tablet. Alcohol can increase the risk of lactic acidosis and can potentiate the effect of this medicine on lactate metabolism.

Liver

Avoid use of Gemer DS 1 Tablet in patients with evidence of liver disease. If you have liver health issues, discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine. This medicine may affect liver function.

Kidney

Gemer DS 1 Tablet is not recommended for use in patients with severe renal impairment. If you have any kidney problems, it's a good idea to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Use In Driving And Operating Machinery

Gemer DS 1 Tablet is not known to impact your ability to drive or operate machinery. As with any medicine, it's wise to see how it affects you before driving or operating heavy machines.

Allergy

If you're allergic to glimepiride, metformin or any other ingredients in Gemer DS 1 Tablet, avoid using this medication. An allergic reaction may occur if you do so.

Children

Gemer DS 1 Tablet is not recommended for use in children.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Gemer DS 1 Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised if patients are above 70 years of age. Older patients might also have liver and kidney issues and might be on other medication. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Gemer DS 1 Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Medicines like ibuprofen and naproxen can potentially increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken alongside Gemer DS 1 Tablet.
Beta Blockers: Medicines like atenolol and propranolol can intensify the blood sugarlowering effect of Gemer DS 1 Tablet and mask the symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Diuretics: Medications such as furosemide or hydrochlorothiazide can lead to an increased blood sugar level, reducing the effectiveness of Gemer DS 1 Tablet.

Drug-Food Interactions

Foods high in fibre may decrease the absorption of metformin from the gut, reducing its effectiveness.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Gemer DS 1 Tablet interacts with the following diseases:

Liver Disease: Patients with liver disease should exercise caution as it could exacerbate their condition due to impaired metabolism and clearance of glimepiride and metformin.
Kidney Disease: This medicine could accumulate in the body if you have kidney disease, leading to potentially harmful effects.
Metabolic Acidosis: In conditions like diabetic ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, or alcohol intoxication, Gemer DS 1 Tablet should not be used as it could worsen metabolic acidosis.

Daily Dose

Take the daily dose of Gemer DS 1 Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage could change based on your individual health condition and how you respond to the medicine. Always follow your doctor's instructions and do not exceed the prescribed dosage. For further details, refer to the package insert.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more than your prescribed dose of Gemer DS 1 Tablet, you may experience symptoms such as dizziness and diarrhoea. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor to get appropriate advice.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take your Gemer DS 1 Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. But if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and continue with your regular schedule. Never increase your dosage without consulting your doctor.
