CompositionGlycomet-GP 1 Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults when a single medicine is not enough. It is a combination medicine containing metformin (a biguanide) and glimepiride (a sulphonylurea).
Keeping blood sugar in a healthy range helps lower the long-term risk of complications affecting the heart, nerves and kidneys. Take it with food in the dose, frequency and duration prescribed by your doctor, and keep to regular meal times to avoid swings in blood sugar. Continue it even when you feel well.
Diet and activity remain an essential part of treatment. Control portions of rice, roti and sweets, avoid long gaps between meals and stay physically active.
Before starting, tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, and about all other medicines, supplements or herbal products you take. Learn the signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) and how to treat them. Report extreme tiredness, muscle pain or fast breathing, which can rarely be a sign of lactic acidosis. 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.
