Composition

Gliclazide (80 Mg) + Metformin (500 Mg)

Glychek M Forte Tablet 15 is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two antidiabetic agents: gliclazide (80 mg) and metformin (500 mg). Gliclazide stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. This combination helps control blood sugar levels effectively.

This medicine is prescribed when individual therapy with either of its components doesn't provide satisfactory control over the patient's blood sugar levels.

Before you begin taking this medicine, it's crucial to consult your doctor about your dosage and frequency based on your specific health condition. Ensure you inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medicines you're currently on. If you notice any side effects while taking this medicine, consult your doctor immediately. Continue taking this medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

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.

Glychek M Forte Tablet 15 is taken orally.

Glychek M Forte Tablet 15 may have the following common side effects:

Nausea or vomiting
Stomach pain
Constipation
Diarrhoea
Headache
Dizziness
Blurred vision
Hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose levels)

Managing the 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.

Glychek M Forte Tablet 15 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

Glychek M Forte Tablet 15 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.

Kidney

For those with severe kidney problems, especially severe renal impairment, Glychek M Forte Tablet 15 is contraindicated. Always consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

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 Glychek M Forte Tablet 15. Exercise caution and consult your doctor for guidance based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Glychek M Forte Tablet 15 may interact with the following medications:

Diuretics: Medicines like furosemide or hydrochlorothiazide may decrease the blood glucose-lowering effect of this tablet.
Corticosteroids: Medicines like prednisone can reduce the effectiveness of Glychek M Forte Tablet 15 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

Glychek M Forte Tablet 15 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.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Glychek M Forte Tablet 15 may interact with the following diseases:

Type 1 diabetes: This medicine is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Diabetic ketoacidosis: Patients with diabetic ketoacidosis are also contraindicated from taking this medicine.
Liver or kidney disease: This medicine is contraindicated if you have severe liver or kidney problems, as it could increase your risk of developing lactic acidosis, a rare but serious condition.
Heart failure: People with heart conditions like congestive heart failure are also contraindicated from taking this medicine.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will determine the recommended daily dose of Glychek M Forte Tablet 15, depending on individual factors such as the severity of your condition and your response to the medication.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more than the prescribed dose, it can lead to common side effects such as nausea, diarrhoea, or headache. If you experience these symptoms, inform your doctor promptly.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose of the medicine, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never double your dose to compensate for a missed one without consulting your doctor.

Keep Glychek M Forte Tablet 15 in a dry place, protected from light and moisture.
Store it at room temperature, below 30°C.
Avoid storing the medicine in heat or direct sunlight, as this could affect its effectiveness.
Ensure this medicine is out of reach of children to prevent accidental consumption.
Always use the medicine before its expiry date.

Consider following a balanced diet low in sugar, which can help control blood glucose levels.
