GLIMDA 1

Description

GLIMDA 1 Tablet is an oral antidiabetic (sulfonylurea class) prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise are insufficient to control blood sugar levels. It works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, thereby lowering blood glucose. Ongoing glycemic management with this medication—along with a balanced diet and physical activity—helps to reduce the risks of diabetes complications such as kidney damage, eye problems, and nerve issues.

Key Benefits:

• Lowers raised blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes patients

• Helps prevent diabetes-related complications (kidney, eye, nerve)

• Supports long-term blood glucose management when lifestyle measures are not enough

Directions for Use:

• Take once daily with or just after the first main meal

• Swallow whole with water; do not chew or crush

• Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dose and schedule

Side Effects:
May include nausea, dizziness, headache, weight gain, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Symptoms of hypoglycemia include sweating, shakiness, dizziness, and hunger.

Safety Advice:

• Use with caution in patients with liver or kidney issues

• Not for those with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis

• Avoid alcohol; can increase risk of hypoglycemia

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use only if clearly needed, with doctor’s advice

• Regularly monitor blood sugar

Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from moisture and sunlight, and out of reach of children.
