Glimepiride (4 Mg) + Metformin (1000 Mg)

Glimestar M4 Forte Tablet 10 is used to manage type 2 diabetes when diet, exercise, and single-agent therapy do not provide sufficient glycemic control. It combines Glimepiride, which stimulates insulin release, and Metformin, which reduces glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity. Together, they help manage blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of complications related to uncontrolled diabetes, including kidney damage, blindness, and nerve problems. Before starting this medicine, consult your doctor for the correct dosage and inform them of any other conditions or medications. If side effects occur, inform your doctor promptly and continue treatment as prescribed.

Glimestar M4 Forte Tablet 10 is used to manage Type 2 diabetes mellitus by improving insulin sensitivity and controlling blood sugar levels. It supports long-term diabetes management when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Always consume the tablet with a meal.
Swallow the tablet whole; do not chew or crush it.
Always follow your doctor's advice on the frequency of usage.
If you're unsure about anything, don't hesitate to consult your doctor.

Glimestar M4 Forte Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Glimestar M4 Forte Tablet 10 may cause hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar), gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain), and vitamin B12 deficiency (with prolonged use).

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Glimestar M4 Forte Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some suggestions for managing common side effects:

Hypoglycaemia: If you experience low blood sugar symptoms like dizziness or confusion after taking Glimestar M4 Forte Tablet 10, try having a small snack or meal that includes carbohydrates.
Gastrointestinal symptoms: If you have symptoms like nausea or diarrhoea after taking this medicine, take it with your main meals to lessen these effects.

Glimestar M4 Forte Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients that work together to manage blood sugar levels:

Glimepiride (4 mg): This is a sulfonylurea class of medication that stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin. It does this by binding to receptors on pancreatic beta cells, leading to increased secretion of insulin, which helps lower blood glucose levels.
Metformin (1000 mg): This ingredient works by reducing glucose production in the liver, decreasing glucose absorption from the intestines, and improving insulin sensitivity. This means it helps your body respond better to insulin and utilise glucose more effectively, thereby lowering overall blood sugar levels.

Pregnancy

Glimestar M4 Forte Tablet 10 is not recommended for use during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, it's important to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Glimestar M4 Forte Tablet 10 is not recommended if you are breastfeeding. Make sure to consult your doctor to understand potential risks and benefits.

Alcohol
