Glimy 2 Tablet is part of the sulfonylureas group of medicines and is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It helps manage blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of serious diabetes-related complications, such as kidney damage and blindness.
Glimy 2 Tablet can be taken on its own or combined with other diabetes medications. It should be taken just before or with your first meal of the day. For the best results, take it consistently at the same time every day. Your doctor will determine the most appropriate dose based on your blood sugar levels, and this dose may be adjusted periodically.
Even if you feel well or your blood sugar levels are stable, continue taking Glimy 2 Tablet as prescribed. Stopping the medication without consulting your doctor could lead to increased blood sugar levels, raising your risk of complications such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, and limb loss. Remember that this medication is just one part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, which should also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management, as advised by your doctor.
Common side effects of Glimy 2 Tablet include low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), nausea, headache, weakness, and dizziness. Be aware of the signs of low blood sugar, such as sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking, and know how to address them. To prevent low blood sugar, have regular meals and carry a fast-acting source of glucose, like sugary food or fruit juice. Avoid alcohol, as it can increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Some individuals may also experience weight gain while taking this medication.
Glimy 2 Tablet is not suitable for individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus, diabetic ketoacidosis (a condition with high acid levels in the blood), or severe kidney or liver disease. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, thyroid issues, or hormonal conditions, as these may affect your suitability for the medication. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using it. Regular blood sugar monitoring is essential, and your doctor may recommend blood tests to check your blood cell counts and liver function during treatment.
