Glyxambi 25mg/5mg Tablet is a combination medication used to help control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by improving the body's use of insulin, which helps lower blood sugar levels. This medicine is most effective when used alongside a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management, as advised by your doctor.
You can take Glyxambi with or without food, at any time of day. However, try to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels. Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor, as doing so may cause your blood sugar levels to rise, increasing the risk of serious complications such as kidney damage or vision problems.
Common side effects include urinary tract infections, nasopharyngitis (cold-like symptoms), and upper respiratory tract infections. To help prevent dehydration, drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication. Some people may also develop fungal infections in the genital area—good hygiene can help reduce this risk.
Before starting Glyxambi, inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems, a current urinary tract infection, or if you are taking diuretics (water pills). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking Glyxambi, as it may increase the risk of certain side effects. Regularly monitor your blood sugar levels to ensure the medication is working effectively.
