CompositionGlycigon M Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes. It is a combination medicine containing gliclazide (a sulphonylurea) and metformin (a biguanide).
It lowers blood sugar more than either medicine used alone by helping the body release insulin and reducing glucose made by the liver. Take it with meals in the dose, frequency and duration prescribed by your doctor, at consistent meal times.
Eat meals at consistent times, as skipping food after a dose raises the risk of low blood sugar. Control portions of rice, roti and sweets, stay active and always carry a quick source of sugar.
Before starting, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease or heart failure, and about all other medicines, supplements or herbal products you take. Mention any planned surgery or contrast dye imaging. Watch for sweating, shakiness or hunger, which are signs of low blood sugar. Follow the prescribed dose, frequency and duration, report persistent or serious side effects, and do not stop the medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
