CompositionGeminor M2 Forte Tablet is used to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults who require stronger glycemic control. This medicine belongs to the class of oral antidiabetic medications (combining Glimepiride and a higher dose of Metformin). It assists in improving insulin sensitivity and reducing hepatic glucose production, helping achieve better glycemic control when individual therapies are insufficient.
Geminor M2 Forte Tablet is used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It improves blood sugar control when diet and exercise alone are insufficient and enhances glycemic regulation when a single medicine is inadequate.
Here are some instructions on how to take Geminor M2 Forte Tablet:
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not chew or crush the tablet.
Take this medicine preferably with your evening meal.
It's crucial not to stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor first.
Geminor M2 Forte Tablet is taken orally.
Geminor M2 Forte Tablet may cause hypoglycemia, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, headache, and flatulence (excess gas).
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Geminor M2 Forte Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some tips for managing common side effects:
Hypoglycaemia: Keep a small snack handy to eat if you feel symptoms of low blood sugar.
Diarrhoea: Try taking Geminor M2 Forte Tablet with your evening meal to lessen this effect.
Geminor M2 Forte Tablet consists of two active ingredients that work together in managing high blood sugar levels:
Metformin (1000 mg): This ingredient belongs to the biguanide class of antidiabetic medicines. It works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver, decreasing the absorption of glucose from the gut, and enhancing the body's response to insulin. It does this by activating a specific liver enzyme that plays a central role in insulin signalling, energy balance, and the metabolism of glucose and lipids.
Glimepiride (2 mg): This component belongs to a class of medications known as sulfonylureas. It stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cells. By binding to certain receptors on the cell membrane, it causes these cells to release insulin, a hormone that helps cells take in glucose from the blood.
Geminor M2 Forte Tablet falls under Category C for pregnancy. This means there is a potential risk to the foetus. It's best to consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive.
The active ingredients, metformin and glimepiride, are found in human milk. As the effects on the breastfeeding infant are unknown, it's advised not to take this medicine while lactating.
Alcohol may increase the risk of lactic acidosis, a rare but serious complication associated with metformin. Caution is advised when drinking alcohol while taking this medicine.
The liver plays a key role in metabolising glimepiride, which is one of the constituents of Geminor M2 Forte Tablet. If you have liver health issues, it's best to consult your doctor before starting this medication.
Metformin, component of Geminor M2 Forte Tablet, is excreted unchanged in urine. Therefore, if you have kidney problems, it is best to discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.
No specific precautions exist regarding using machines or driving while taking this medicine. However, always ensure you know how your body reacts to Geminor M2 Forte Tablet before operating machinery or driving.
If you have known hypersensitivity to glimepiride or metformin or any other component in this medicine, avoid taking Geminor M2 Forte Tablet.
The safety and effectiveness of Geminor M2 Forte Tablet in children have not been established yet. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.
Elderly patients are more likely to have decreased kidney function, which could affect the excretion of metformin. Dose selection for elderly patients should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range. Monitoring of renal function is recommended while taking this medicine.
Geminor M2 Forte Tablet interacts with the following medicines:
Contrast agents: These can impair renal function, leading to an increase in metformin levels and risk of lactic acidosis. Examples include iodixanol and iohexol.
NSAIDs: NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and diclofenac may impair renal function, increasing metformin levels and the risk of lactic acidosis.
Other antidiabetic agents: When used alongside other antidiabetic medicines like insulin or glibenclamide, glimepiride in Geminor M2 Forte Tablet may increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Beta-blockers: Medicines like propranolol or atenolol may mask the signs of hypoglycemia caused by glimepiride.
Corticosteroids: These medicines including prednisone and dexamethasone can lead to hyperglycemia, compromising glycemic control.
Oral contraceptives: Estrogen-containing contraceptives can also cause hyperglycemia, affecting glycemic control.
Certain foods can interact with Geminor M2 Forte Tablet. Here are some examples:
High-fibre foods: Foods high in fibre may decrease the absorption of metformin, reducing its effectiveness.
Geminor M2 Forte Tablet interacts with the following diseases:
Severe renal impairment: In patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR below 30 mL/min/1.73m2), metformin accumulation could occur, increasing the risk of lactic acidosis.
Congestive heart failure: If you have this condition requiring pharmacologic treatment, Geminor M2 Forte Tablet may not be suitable for you.
Metabolic acidosis: In acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis, Geminor M2 Forte Tablet should not be used.
Hypoxic states: Conditions that reduce oxygen supply to tissues can increase the risk of lactic acidosis with metformin.
Your doctor will prescribe the daily dose of Geminor M2 Forte Tablet. This may vary based on your condition and response to treatment. Always follow the prescribed dosage.
If you accidentally take more than the prescribed dose of Geminor M2 Forte Tablet, you may experience symptoms like nausea, abdominal pain, and discomfort. Inform your doctor about this.
