GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15 is used to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate blood sugar control. Please consult your doctor to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific health needs.
Inform your healthcare provider about any ongoing treatments before starting this medication. Report any side effects immediately and ensure you continue the treatment for the duration prescribed by your doctor to achieve the best results.
GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15 is used to control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It improves insulin sensitivity, supports glucose regulation, and helps reduce the risk of long-term complications when diet and exercise alone are not enough.
Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
Do not break, crush, or chew the tablet.
Take this medicine during or immediately after a meal to lessen stomach issues.
Always follow your doctor's instructions about when and how to take this medicine.
GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15 is taken orally.
GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15 may cause side effects including low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), which may cause sweating and dizziness, swelling (oedema), weight gain, headache, diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections, and fatigue. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15. However, if you experience serious side effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:
Hypoglycaemia: If you start feeling dizzy or weak, consume a quick source of sugar like candy or fruit juice.
Diarrhoea: Try taking GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15 with food to lessen this effect.
GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15 contains three active ingredients:
Glimepiride (1 mg): This ingredient belongs to the sulfonylurea class of medicines that encourage your pancreas to produce more insulin. More insulin helps lower blood glucose levels.
Pioglitazone (15 mg): This is a thiazolidinedione that increases insulin sensitivity in the body. This means it helps your cells utilise insulin more effectively, which aids in controlling blood sugar levels.
Metformin (500 mg): This biguanide reduces glucose production in the liver. It also lessens the amount of glucose absorbed from the intestines and enhances insulin use, which aids in decreasing blood sugar levels.
If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, caution is advised while taking GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15. The potential benefits must outweigh any potential risks to the foetus. Always consult your doctor before starting this medicine.
Breastfeeding is not recommended while taking GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15. It's best to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.
Alcohol may increase the risk of lactic acidosis, a rare but serious complication associated with metformin, one of the components of GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15. Limit your alcohol intake while taking this medicine.
GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15 should generally be avoided if you have signs of liver disease. Metformin can cause lactic acidosis, which may worsen liver-related issues. Consult your doctor if you have any liver problems.
GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15 is contraindicated in those with severe renal impairment. Your doctor will guide you based on your kidney health.
There is no specific information suggesting that using GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15 affects your ability to drive or operate machinery. However, hypoglycaemia, a common side effect of glimepiride in this medicine, might affect your ability to concentrate. Avoid these activities till you know more about how this medicine affects you.
Do not take GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15 if you are allergic to glimepiride, metformin, pioglitazone or any other ingredients in this medicine. If you experience any allergic reactions while taking this medicine, seek immediate medical attention.
This medicine is not advised in children. It is better to consult a doctor before giving this medicine to a child.
Older patients should take GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15 under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.
GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15 interacts with the following medicines:
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Medicines like ibuprofen and aspirin may increase the blood sugar-lowering effect of glimepiride, a component of GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15.
Cationic medications: Amiloride, digoxin, and ranitidine can interfere with metformin, another ingredient in this medicine. This may increase metformin accumulation and raise your risk for lactic acidosis.
Inhibitors of certain liver enzymes: Strong inhibitors of the CYP2C8 enzyme in the liver, such as gemfibrozil, can significantly increase pioglitazone levels in your body.
GLITARAY MP 1 TABLET 15 does not have known interactions with any specific foods.
