Gliroze 60mg Tablet MR is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It belongs to a group of medicines called sulfonylureas and helps control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Gliroze 60mg Tablet MR may be prescribed alone or along with other medicines. It should be taken with food. Take it regularly at the same time each day to get the most benefit. Your doctor will decide what dose is best for you and this may change from time to time according to how it works. Keep taking this medicine even if you feel well or your blood sugar levels are controlled. If you stop it without consulting your doctor, your blood sugar levels could rise and put you at risk of kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, and loss of limbs. Remember that it is only part of a treatment program that should also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight reduction as advised by your doctor. Your lifestyle plays a big part in controlling diabetes.
Gliroze 60mg Tablet MR is an antidiabetic medication. It works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas in order to lower the blood sugar levels.
What is the best time to take Gliroze 60mg Tablet MR?
Take Gliroze 60mg Tablet MR before meals or exactly as instructed by your doctor. There is evidence suggesting that Gliroze 60mg Tablet MR works most effectively in controlling post-meal high blood sugar levels when taken 30 minutes before breakfast. Therefore, if you are meant to take it once daily, take it in the morning with breakfast alongside a glass of water.
Is Gliroze 60mg Tablet MR the same as metformin?
No, Gliroze 60mg Tablet MR is not the same as metformin. Despite both being oral medications used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, they work differently to reduce blood sugar levels. While Gliroze 60mg Tablet MR increases insulin secretion by the pancreas, metformin improves the function and effectiveness of the insulin already present in the body.
Can I take metformin and Gliroze 60mg Tablet MR at the same time?
Yes, Gliroze 60mg Tablet MR and metformin can be taken together if prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor may have prescribed combining both medications to manage your uncontrolled blood sugar levels. However, combining them could lead to low blood sugar which may also occur from skipping or delaying meals, increased physical activity, or taking it with insulin. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully to avoid complications.
