Glidum 1 Tablet 10 is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise fail to control blood sugar levels. It contains glimepiride, which belongs to the group of medicines called anti-diabetic agents. It stimulates the pancreas to secrete more insulin, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.

This medication can also be used to manage blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are insufficient. This medicine is used when other anti-diabetic medications like metformin do not provide adequate blood sugar control on their own.

Before starting this medication, it is important that you consult your doctor for the correct dosage and frequency. Remember to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects while on this medication, do notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Glidum 1 Tablet 10 is used to enhance glycaemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps manage high blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are not enough. It can also complement other anti-diabetic medicines like metformin to improve their effectiveness.

To make the most of Glidum 1 Tablet 10, follow these instructions:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush or chew the tablet.
Remember not to stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor.

Glidum 1 Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Glidum 1 Tablet 10 may have the following common side effects:

Hypoglycaemia (a condition where your blood sugar levels drop below normal)
Upper respiratory tract infection
Headache
Nausea
Dizziness
Haemolytic anaemia (a condition where your body destroys red blood cells faster than it can produce them, leading to fatigue and weakness)

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Glidum 1 Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Glidum 1 Tablet 10 contains glimepiride (1 mg), and it works on your body in the following ways:

Stimulates Insulin Production: Glimepiride works by encouraging the pancreas to produce more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body utilise sugar from the food you eat.
Increases Insulin Sensitivity: Apart from stimulating insulin production, glimepiride also increases the sensitivity of your body tissues to insulin. This means that it helps your body use insulin more effectively.
By doing so, Glidum 1 Tablet 10 helps to lower high blood glucose levels and aids in managing type 2 diabetes effectively.

Pregnancy

Glidum 1 Tablet 10 is not recommended during pregnancy unless the potential benefits outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. If you're pregnant or planning a baby, it's best to discuss this with your doctor before you start using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Glidum 1 Tablet 10 should be used with caution while breastfeeding. Before making a decision, it's important to consult your doctor about the possible risks and benefits.

Alcohol

Drinking alcohol while taking Glidum 1 Tablet 10 can increase your risk of low blood sugar levels (hypoglycaemia). It's advisable to limit or avoid alcohol consumption while on this medication.

Liver

If you have liver problems, be careful when taking Glidum 1 Tablet 10. This medicine may affect liver function, so it's crucial to discuss your health condition with your doctor before starting this medication.

Kidney

Caution is advised when using Glidum 1 Tablet 10 if you have a history of any kidney problems. Before taking this medicine, it's recommended to consult your doctor.

Using Machines & Driving

There is no specific information about whether Glidum 1 Tablet 10 can affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. However, if you experience dizziness or confusion as side effects, it would be safer not to do these activities until you feel better.

Allergy

This medicine should not be taken if you are allergic to glimepiride or any other sulfonylureas or sulfonamides. If you've had an allergic reaction to similar medications in the past, tell your doctor before starting Glidum 1 Tablet 10.

Children

Glidum 1 Tablet 10 is not recommended for use in children under 18 years of age. Always consult a doctor before giving this medication to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Glidum 1 Tablet 10 under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised if patients are above 70 years of age, as older patients might also be on other medication. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Glidum 1 Tablet 10 may interact with the following medicines:

Insulin and ACE inhibitors like insulin, enalapril or lisinopril can interact with Glidum 1 Tablet 10, leading to a higher risk of low blood sugar levels.
Corticosteroids and Thiazides, such as prednisone and hydrochlorothiazide, may decrease this tablet's sugar-lowering effectiveness, causing loss of glycaemic control.
Thyroid hormones such as levothyroxine can reduce the hypoglycaemic action of Glidum 1 Tablet 10.
CYP2C9 inhibitors like fluconazole and amiodarone can potentially increase the levels of glimepiride in the body, leading to an increased risk of low blood sugar.

Drug-Food Interactions

Glidum 1 Tablet 10 can interact with certain food items:

High-fibre foods: Foods high in fibre may reduce the absorption of glimepiride in your body, affecting the medicine's effectiveness.

Kidney disease: If you have kidney problems, this medicine could lead to an increased risk of low blood sugar.

Daily Dose

As an individual, you should take the daily dose of Glidum 1 Tablet 10 as prescribed by your doctor. Your dosage may vary depending on factors such as the severity of your condition and how you respond to treatment. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and never exceed the prescribed dosage without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

Overdosing on Glidum 1 Tablet 10 may lead to low blood sugar, which can cause symptoms such as shaking, sweating, rapid heartbeat, and blurred vision. If you've taken more than the prescribed dose, consult your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Glidum 1 Tablet 10, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and stick to your regular dosage schedule. Never double up your dose without consulting your doctor.
