Eternex-T Tablet is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is used together with a healthy diet and regular exercise to control blood sugar levels. Eternex-T Tablet is normally prescribed when diet and exercise alone or other medicines do not prove sufficient to control your blood sugar level. Your doctor may prescribe it alone or in combination with other diabetes medicines. It can be taken with or without food. The dose will depend on your condition and blood sugar levels. Use it strictly as advised by your doctor.
Eternex-T Tablet is an antidiabetic medication. It works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreasing the hormones that raise blood sugar levels. This reduces the fasting and postmeal sugar levels.
Does Eternex-T Tablet cause weight gain?
No, Eternex-T Tablet itself does not cause weight gain. However, maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for managing diabetes. If you experience weight gain while taking Eternex-T Tablet, consult your doctor.
Is Eternex-T Tablet bad for your kidneys?
If you have normal kidney function, Eternex-T Tablet is safe to use. Nonetheless, it's essential to inform your doctor if you have any pre-existing kidney problems or concerns. In such cases, dose modification may be necessary.
Do I still need to manage my diet and exercise while on Eternex-T Tablet?
Yes, in addition to taking Eternex-T Tablet, managing your diet and exercising regularly are crucial for effectively controlling blood sugar levels. Consider consulting a dietitian for personalized dietary advice. A well-balanced diet, along with regular physical activity, can significantly contribute to maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.
Can my blood sugar levels become too low on Eternex-T Tablet?
Yes, it's possible that your blood sugar levels may drop too low (hypoglycemia) while taking Eternex-T Tablet, especially when combined with other antidiabetic medications or insulin. Skipping meals or engaging in excessive physical activity can also increase this risk. If you experience a sudden decrease in blood sugar levels, inform your doctor. They may recommend adjusting the dosage to prevent significant hypoglycemia episodes.
How long do I need to take Eternex-T Tablet?
Eternex-T Tablet only helps manage blood sugar levels and does not cure diabetes. It's essential to continue taking it as directed by your doctor, potentially for a lifelong duration. Maintaining controlled blood sugar levels is vital to prevent complications from diabetes.
What if I accidentally take more than the prescribed dose of Eternex-T Tablet?

What if I miss a dose of Eternex-T Tablet?
If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and resume your regular dosing schedule. Never take two doses at once.
