Glide 5 Mg ( 10 Tablet )

GLIDE 5 MG Tablet

GLIDE 5 MG Tablet is an oral antidiabetic medication manufactured by FRANCO-INDIAN PHARMACEUTICALS PVT. LTD., primarily used for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Glipizide (5 mg).

Uses

GLIDE 5 MG Tablet is prescribed to lower blood glucose levels in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It is used when diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes alone are insufficient to control blood sugar. This medication works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin and helps body cells use insulin effectively. It can sometimes be used in conjunction with insulin or other anti-diabetic medicines for better blood sugar control.

Dosage and Administration

This medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor. It is typically administered orally, usually 30 minutes before the first meal of the day. Some sources also suggest taking it two times daily before meals. Do not crush or chew the tablet; swallow it whole with a glass of water. Dosage adjustments are made based on blood glucose response and should not be changed without consulting a doctor. Regular exercise, a controlled diet, and frequent monitoring of blood sugar levels are recommended.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels), which can manifest as increased hunger, dizziness, sweating, shakiness, headache, and confusion.
• Nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain.
• Dizziness and headache.
• Shaking of the body.

Serious side effects, though less common, can include:

• Yellowing of skin and eyes (jaundice).
• Dark colored urine.
• Unusual bleeding.
• Severe allergic reactions.
• Abnormal liver function or liver inflammation.

Precautions

• Hypoglycemia: Patients should be aware of the risk of low blood sugar and carry a sugary snack as a precaution.
• Allergies: Not recommended for patients with a known allergy to glipizide or other sulfonylurea medicines.
• Medical Conditions: Use with extreme caution, or it may be contraindicated, in patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, diabetic ketoacidosis, severe liver or kidney problems, heart disease, adrenal or pituitary gland disorders, or G6PD deficiency.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Generally not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential severe side effects.
• Alcohol: Consumption of alcohol is not recommended as it may increase the risk of severe adverse effects, including hypoglycemia.
• Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medicines, supplements, or herbal products being taken to avoid possible drug interactions, especially with antifungals (like miconazole or fluconazole), beta-blockers, corticosteroids, and diuretics.
