Diabetrol SR

Product Overview

Diabetrol SR is a medication containing the active ingredient Glibenclamide and Metformin Hydrochloride.

Uses

Diabetrol SR is primarily used for the management and treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is designed to help control blood sugar levels in individuals who have a diagnosis of this type of diabetes.

How it Works

The two active ingredients in Diabetrol SR have distinct mechanisms of action. Glibenclamide belongs to the sulfonylurea class, which stimulates the release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells. This results in a decrease in blood glucose levels. On the other hand, Metformin Hydrochloride works by decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver and increasing the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin, thus promoting better glucose uptake.

Dosage and Administration

Always take Diabetrol SR as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The dosage and frequency will vary based on your condition, age, and response to the treatment. It’s typically administered orally and can be taken with or without food. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember but skip it if it’s almost time for the next one. Never double the dose.

Benefits

Diabetrol SR offers a dual-action treatment approach to regulate blood sugar levels effectively. By combining two well-researched medications, it provides better glycemic control, reducing the risks associated with prolonged elevated blood sugar, such as kidney problems, nerve damage, and vision issues.

Common Side Effects

Some of the potential side effects of Diabetrol SR include:

• Nausea or upset stomach
• Diarrhea
• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
• Skin rash or itching
• Weight gain

Remember, not everyone will experience these side effects, and they might be temporary for those who do.

Warnings

• Diabetrol SR is not suitable for individuals with Type 1 diabetes.
• Do not consume alcohol while taking this medication as it may increase the risk of low blood sugar.
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Diabetrol SR.
• If you experience severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, or severe skin rashes, stop taking the medication and seek medical attention immediately.
