Composition

Gliclazide (80 Mg) + Metformin (500 Mg)

Glifid M 80/500mg Tablet 10 is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults who require combination therapy when single-agent treatment is not sufficient. It is a combination of two diabetes-controlling agents that work together to lower blood sugar levels.

It contains gliclazide and metformin. Take it as prescribed, with meals to reduce stomach upset. Do not stop taking it without medical advice as your blood sugar may rise.

Keeping to a low-glycaemic diet, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight and checking blood sugar regularly support effective diabetes management with this medicine.

Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney disease, heart disease or pancreatic disease before starting. Report any signs of hypoglycaemia (shakiness, sweating, confusion), yellowing of the skin or eyes, severe stomach pain, or difficulty urinating.

Glifid M 80/500mg Tablet 10 is used to manage type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels and reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications when used alongside diet and exercise.

Uses of Glifid M 80/500mg Tablet 10 are:

• Blood Sugar Control: Helps regulate blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes.

• Diabetes Management: Used in adults requiring combination therapy for better blood sugar control.

• Complication Prevention: Reduces the risk of heart disease, kidney damage and eye problems caused by high blood sugar.

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush or chew the tablet.
Take the medicine in the dosage and frequency prescribed by your doctor.
Do not stop taking this medicine without discussing it with your doctor.

Glifid M 80/500mg Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Glifid M 80/500mg 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 Glifid M 80/500mg Tablet 10:

• Digestive: Feeling sick (nausea), stomach pain and loose motions (diarrhoea). Taking the tablet with food can help reduce stomach upset.

• Neurological: Headache and dizziness.

• Vision: Blurred vision.

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 upon discontinuing the medicine. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

You can also effectively manage common side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or stomach pain at home by taking the medicine with food.

Glifid M 80/500mg Tablet 10 works in the human body in the following ways:

Gliclazide (80 mg): Gliclazide belongs to the group of sulphonylureas. It helps control blood glucose levels by stimulating your pancreas to release more insulin.
Metformin hydrochloride (500 mg): Metformin hydrochloride is classified as a biguanide. Its primary function is to lower glucose production in the liver and reduce intestinal glucose absorption. Additionally, it enhances insulin sensitivity by promoting peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation. This activity, in turn, helps reduce high blood sugar levels.

Pregnancy

Glifid M 80/500mg Tablet 10 is contraindicated in pregnancy as it may cause harm to the foetus. Always consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

This medicine is contraindicated while breastfeeding as it may pass into breast milk and adversely affect the nursing infant. Always consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol consumption while on this medication as it could increase the risk of lactic acidosis (lactic acid built up in your body). Always consult your doctor regarding alcohol intake.

Liver

This medicine is contraindicated in patients with severe liver disorders as it could increase their risk of developing lactic acidosis. If you have liver issues, discuss them with your doctor before starting this medication.

This medicine may cause dizziness or blurred vision in some individuals. If you feel dizzy or unwell, avoid doing activities such as driving or operating machinery until you feel better.

Allergy

Avoid taking this medicine if you are allergic to gliclazide, metformin hydrochloride, or any other ingredients in the tablet. Always discuss your allergies with your doctor.

Children

This medicine is not intended for use in children below 18 years. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Elderly patients may have decreased hepatic or renal function, which puts them at a higher risk of developing lactic acidosis when taking Glifid M 80/500mg Tablet 10. Exercise caution and consult your doctor for guidance based on your health status.

Corticosteroids: Medicines like prednisone can reduce the effectiveness of Glifid M 80/500mg Tablet 10 in managing blood sugar levels.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors: ACE inhibitors such as ramipril or lisinopril can enhance the medicine's blood sugar-lowering effect, causing extremely low blood sugar levels.
Other antidiabetic agents: Medicines like insulin or glimepiride may interact with this tablet, increasing the risk of low blood sugar.

Drug-Food Interactions

Glifid M 80/500mg Tablet 10 may interact with certain foods, such as:

High-fibre diet: A diet rich in fibre, like whole grains, legumes, and vegetables, may decrease the absorption and effectiveness of metformin hydrochloride.
