Diopen-MF Tablet

Diopen-MF Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It contains two main ingredients: Glibenclamide and Metformin. Both these medicines work together to help control high blood sugar levels in patients whose diabetes cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone.

Ingredients:

• Glibenclamide 5 mg
• Metformin 500 mg

Uses:

• Helps lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
• Prevents long-term complications of diabetes like kidney damage, nerve problems, and eye issues.
• Helps improve the way the body uses insulin.

How It Works:

• Glibenclamide increases the release of insulin from the pancreas. This helps lower blood sugar after meals.
• Metformin reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver and also increases the sensitivity of muscles to insulin. This allows the body to use sugar more effectively.

Dosage:

• Take the medicine as directed by your doctor.
• Usually taken once or twice daily with meals.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew it.

Side Effects:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhea or stomach pain
• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) with symptoms like sweating, dizziness, fast heartbeat, or hunger
• Headache or weakness

Precautions:

• Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine as it may increase the risk of side effects.
• Inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems.
• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by your doctor.
• Regular blood sugar tests and kidney function tests may be required during treatment.

Storage:

• Store in a cool and dry place, away from sunlight and moisture.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Important Advice:

• Follow a proper diet and exercise plan as recommended by your doctor.
• Do not skip meals while taking this medicine to avoid low blood sugar.
• Carry a small snack or glucose tablet in case you feel symptoms of low sugar.
• Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking to avoid drug interactions.
