Metaglez Forte Tablet

Uses:
Metaglez Forte Tablet is a combination oral anti-diabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus.

• Glipizide (5mg): Stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, helping lower blood sugar levels.

• Metformin (500mg): Reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, aiding better blood sugar control.

This combination is generally prescribed when diet and exercise alone are insufficient to control blood glucose levels.

• Usually taken with meals to reduce stomach upset.

• Dosage may be adjusted based on blood sugar levels and individual patient response.

• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach discomfort

• Rarely, lactic acidosis (seek medical help immediately)

• Allergic reactions or skin rashes in some patients

Additional Information:
Metaglez Forte Tablet provides dual-action blood sugar control by combining insulin stimulation with improved insulin sensitivity. Regular monitoring of blood glucose, adherence to prescribed therapy, and lifestyle management are key for effective diabetes management.
