Composition

Glimepiride (3 Mg) + Metformin (850 Mg)

Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 is used to manage type 2 diabetes control. It is a combination oral antidiabetic medicine containing glimepiride and metformin.

This medicine helps lower blood glucose levels and maintain overall glycaemic control in people with type 2 diabetes. It also assists in managing high blood sugar when single antidiabetic medicines do not provide enough control.

Regular meals, a balanced diet and physical activity can support blood sugar control alongside this medicine.

Before starting, tell your doctor about your medical conditions and allergies. Tell the doctor about all other medicines, supplements or herbal products you take. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Report persistent or serious side effects to your doctor. Do not stop taking or using the medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.

Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 is used to manage type 2 diabetes control.

Uses of Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 are:

Type 2 Diabetes Control: Helps lower blood glucose levels and maintain overall glycaemic control.
Combination Diabetes Therapy: Assists in managing high blood sugar when single antidiabetic medicines do not provide enough control.

Follow these instructions while taking Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet.
Ideally, take this medicine with meals.

Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 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 Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10:

Hypoglycaemia: abnormally low blood sugar levels, with symptoms like sweating, tremors, dizziness, and headache.
Digestive: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, metallic taste in the mouth.

If any side effect does not improve or becomes serious, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking the medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.

Management Of Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Glidax M 3/850 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:

Nausea: Taking Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 with meals can help reduce feelings of sickness.
Metallic taste: Having this medicine during or immediately after meals may help minimise the metallic taste sensation.

Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

Glimepiride (3 mg): This component belongs to the sulfonylurea class of medicines and works by stimulating the pancreatic beta cells to secrete more insulin, helping to lower blood glucose levels.
Metformin (850 mg): As a biguanide, metformin reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver (hepatic glucose production). It also decreases intestinal glucose absorption and improves insulin sensitivity in body tissues, allowing your cells to respond better to insulin.

Pregnancy

Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 is not recommended if you are pregnant. Consult your doctor for other alternatives.

Breastfeeding

Caution is advised while taking Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 during breastfeeding. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol when taking Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10. Alcohol increases your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) and can raise the chance of a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis, which affects how your body processes energy.

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 in case of mild to moderate liver impairment. It is contraindicated for severe liver diseases. If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

Caution is advised before using Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 if you have a history of any kidney problems. Your doctor may need to adjust your dosage if you have kidney issues, as this medicine is eliminated through the kidneys.

Use In Driving And Operating Machinery

Exercise caution when driving or operating machinery while taking Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10. Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) may cause dizziness, blurred vision, or difficulty concentrating, which could affect your ability to drive safely.

Allergy

If you have any known allergies to glimepiride, metformin, or other similar medicines like sulphonylureas, inform your doctor before taking Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10.

Children

Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 should be used in children only if specifically recommended by a child’s doctor.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects, particularly hypoglycaemia. Kidney function and glucose levels should be monitored. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 interacts with the following medicines:

NSAIDs: Medicines like ibuprofen and diclofenac may reduce glucose control when taken with Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10.
Beta-Blockers: Medicines such as propranolol and atenolol can increase the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) when combined with glimepiride.
ACE Inhibitors: Medications like enalapril and ramipril may enhance the blood glucose-lowering effect, potentially causing hypoglycaemia.
Cationic Medicines: Medications such as amiloride, digoxin, and morphine may compete with metformin for renal tubular secretion, affecting its elimination.
Corticosteroids: Medicines like prednisolone and dexamethasone can diminish glucose control when taken alongside Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 interacts with the following diseases:

Renal Impairment: Patients with kidney problems may experience metformin accumulation, increasing the risk of lactic acidosis.
Hepatic Insufficiency: This medicine should be used cautiously in liver disease, as it may affect metabolism and clearance of the medicine.
Metabolic Acidosis: Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 is contraindicated in patients with metabolic acidosis as it can worsen the condition.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Your dosage may be adjusted based on your blood glucose levels and how well you respond to treatment. Never change your dose without consulting your doctor first.

Over Dose

Overdosing on Glidax M 3/850 Tablet 10 may cause low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). You might experience sweating, trembling, dizziness, headache, and hunger. Contact your doctor if you experience unusual symptoms.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

Store in a tightly closed container at room temperature (below 30°C).
Keep the medicine protected from light and moisture.
Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not use this medicine after the expiry date printed on the package.

Monitor your carbohydrate intake and choose complex carbohydrates (like whole grains) over simple sugars to help maintain steady blood glucose levels throughout the day.
Engage in regular physical activity (at least 30 minutes, 5 days a week) as exercise improves insulin sensitivity and helps lower blood sugar levels.
