Description
Glimda 1 Tablet is an anti-diabetic medicine prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient to control blood sugar levels. It contains glimepiride, which helps regulate blood sugar by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that controls how the body uses sugar, and by improving insulin levels, Glimda 1 Tablet helps maintain normal blood glucose levels.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body’s cells do not respond properly to insulin, causing blood sugar to rise. Over time, high blood sugar can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and eye complications. Glimda 1 Tablet works at the root of the problem by increasing insulin secretion, which helps lower elevated blood sugar levels and prevent long-term complications.
For best results, take Glimda 1 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It should be taken after meals, usually once a day. Do not change the dose or stop taking the medicine on your own, even if your blood sugar appears under control. Consistency is key to effectively managing type 2 diabetes with this medication.
Like any medication, Glimda 1 Tablet may cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, dizziness, headache, mild weight gain, and low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). Symptoms of low blood sugar include sweating, shakiness, dizziness, and weakness. If these symptoms persist or become severe, contact your doctor immediately.
Before taking Glimda 1 Tablet, inform your doctor about your complete medical history, including any other medications, supplements, and conditions such as pregnancy or breastfeeding. Along with the medication, following a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding excess sugar and alcohol will help you achieve better blood sugar control and long-term health.
