Glycinorm-M 80

Description

Glycinorm-M 80 is an oral antidiabetic medication used to help control type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It combines two active ingredients:

• Gliclazide (80 mg): A sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release insulin.

• Metformin (500 mg): A biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s insulin sensitivity.

Together, these components help reduce high blood sugar levels and maintain glycemic control.

Key Benefits:

• Helps lower fasting and postprandial (after meal) blood sugar levels.

• May reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications like nerve damage, vision issues, and heart disease.

• Metformin may aid in weight management, especially beneficial in overweight individuals.

Dosage and Usage:

• Typically taken once or twice daily, as prescribed by your doctor.

• Best taken with meals to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort.

• Do not skip or double doses. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it’s close to the next dose.

Common Side Effects:

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia): Symptoms include dizziness, sweating, and shaking.

• Nausea, vomiting, or stomach upset (mainly due to metformin).

• Metallic taste in the mouth.

• Occasional headache or dizziness.

Precautions:

• Avoid alcohol, as it may increase the risk of side effects, including lactic acidosis.

• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice.

• Use cautiously in individuals with kidney or liver disorders.

• Inform your doctor before any surgery or radiologic tests.

Storage Instructions:

• Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and moisture.

• Keep out of reach of children.
