RECLIMET TABLET is a combination medication containing gliclazide and metformin which belongs to the group of medicines called Antidiabetic agents. It is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when lifestyle modifications alone are insufficient. This medication works by increasing insulin secretion from the pancreas (gliclazide) and reducing glucose production in the liver while enhancing the body's response to insulin (metformin). This medication is intended to be used alongside a healthy diet and regular physical activity as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan.
RECLIMET TABLET should be taken with food to help reduce stomach discomfort. For best results, take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent medication levels in your body. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose for you, and this may be adjusted from time to time based on how well your blood sugar is controlled.
Continue taking this medication as prescribed, even if you feel well or your blood sugar is under control. Stopping RECLIMET TABLET without your doctor’s advice can cause your blood sugar levels to rise, increasing the risk of serious complications such as kidney damage, vision loss, nerve problems, and even limb loss. Remember, this medicine is just one part of your diabetes management plan, which should also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management as recommended by your doctor. Your lifestyle choices play a crucial role in effectively controlling diabetes.
Common side effects of this medicine include hypoglycemia, digestive discomfort, nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, constipation, headache, sleep disturbances, altered taste, stomach pain and upper respiratory tract infections. To avoid low blood sugar while taking RECLIMET TABLET, make sure to eat regular meals and always keep a quick source of glucose, such as sugary snacks or fruit juice, with you. Alcohol should be avoided, as it can further increase your risk of hypoglycemia....
