Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Glimpy Mf 2/500 Sr Tablet 10. However, if you experience serious side effects or worsening symptoms, consult your doctor.

Diarrhoea: Try taking this tablet with your evening meal to lessen this effect.

Glimpy Mf 2/500 Sr Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

Glimepiride (2 mg): This component binds to receptors on pancreatic beta cells, leading to a series of cellular reactions that stimulate insulin secretion, a hormone that helps lower glucose levels in your blood.
Metformin (500 mg): Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, decreases glucose absorption from the intestines, and improves insulin sensitivity in the muscles and fat tissues. This triadic action effectively lowers blood sugar levels.

Pregnancy

Breastfeeding

If you're breastfeeding, consult your doctor before starting this medicine to discuss the importance of Glimpy Mf 2/500 Sr Tablet 10 and its potential risks.

Kidney

Glimpy Mf 2/500 Sr Tablet 10 is not recommended for use if you have severe kidney issues. Consult your doctor before using this medicine if you have a history of kidney problems.

Using Machines & Driving

This medicine may cause dizziness or blurred vision, which can affect the ability to drive or operate machinery. Avoid such activities if you experience these symptoms.

Allergy

Avoid taking Glimpy Mf 2/500 Sr Tablet 10 if you're allergic to glimepiride, metformin, or any of its other ingredients.

Children

Glimpy Mf 2/500 Sr Tablet 10 should be used in children only if specifically recommended by a child’s doctor.

Older Patients

Extra care should be taken when using Glimpy Mf 2/500 Sr Tablet 10 for older patients, as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Consider age-related decreases in renal function and concomitant disease or medication therapy. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Glimpy Mf 2/500 Sr Tablet 10 interacts with the following medicines:

CYP2C9 inhibitors: Medicines like fluconazole and amiodarone may increase the levels of glimepiride in your body, making you more susceptible to side effects like hypoglycaemia.
Other glucose-lowering medications: If you're taking salicylates, sulphonamides, chloramphenicol, probenecid, or cimetidine, these can intensify the glucose-lowering effect of glimepiride resulting in low blood sugar levels.
Cationic medications: These medicines, including amiloride, digoxin, morphine, procainamide, quinidine, ranitidine, triamterene, trimethoprim, and vancomycin, may reduce how quickly your body eliminates metformin, which could increase its action and side effects.

Drug-Food Interactions

Glimpy Mf 2/500 Sr Tablet 10 has known interactions with certain foods:

High-fibre foods: These can slow down the absorption of metformin into your bloodstream. This may alter the effectiveness of this medicine.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Glimpy Mf 2/500 Sr Tablet 10 interacts with the following diseases:

Renal impairment: If you have severe kidney problems (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m²), this medicine is not recommended because it might accumulate in your body.
Congestive heart failure: If you're suffering from heart failure requiring pharmacological treatment, this medication could worsen your condition.
Metabolic acidosis: If you're suffering from acute or chronic metabolic acidosis (including diabetic ketoacidosis), this medicine is contraindicated as it can exacerbate the condition.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will determine the daily dose of Glimpy Mf 2/500 Sr Tablet 10 based on your specific needs. Follow the prescribed dosage and never alter it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more Glimpy Mf 2/500 Sr Tablet 10 than recommended, you might experience symptoms like low blood sugar. If this happens, contact your doctor immediately.
