Gp Met Tablet 10

Gp Met Tablet 10 interacts with the following medicines:

• NSAIDs: Medicines like ibuprofen and naproxen may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with Gp Met Tablet 10 due to the displacement of Glipizide from serum proteins.

• Cationic medicines: Medicines such as amiloride, digoxin, and quinine might interact with Metformin in Gp Met Tablet 10. Cationic drugs carry a positive charge (cation) at physiological pH, which can influence their absorption, distribution, and excretion within the body. These medicines compete for common renal tubular transport systems, potentially altering the effectiveness or enhancing side effects of the medication.

Foods rich in fibre could potentially reduce the absorption of Metformin, decreasing its effectiveness in managing blood glucose levels.

Gp Met Tablet 10 interacts with the following diseases:

• Renal disease: Patients with kidney problems should avoid Gp Met Tablet 10 as Metformin is primarily excreted by the kidneys and can exacerbate renal dysfunction.

• Liver disease: Those with liver conditions should be cautious as Glipizide can cause adverse effects in patients with liver impairment.

• Metabolic acidosis: People with metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis, should avoid Gp Met Tablet 10 as Metformin usage may increase lactic acid levels in the blood.

• Hypoglycaemia: Gp Met Tablet 10 may increase hypoglycemic risks, particularly in elderly patients or those suffering from malnutrition or adrenal insufficiency.
