Composition:
GLIMEPIRIDE-1MG
Uses:
Type 2 diabetes
Medicinal Benefits:
Gala - G1 Tablet is used in people with type 2 diabetes to minimize elevated blood sugar levels with a balanced diet and exercise in combination. Gala - G1 Tablet can be combined with insulin or other forms of oral antidiabetic medication. Gala - G1 Tablet decreases blood sugar levels in a diabetic patient by increasing the production and secretion of insulin from the pancreas beta cells. Thus, it helps in controlling increased blood sugar levels after the meal.
The Gala - G1 Tablet contains Glimepiride which acts on insulin-secreting cells called beta cells inside the pancreas and activates calcium channels on cells which lets insulin pass out of the cell. This insulin then makes each cell in the body take up glucose and utilize it, thus lowering raised blood glucose. Therefore, it prevents symptoms of type 2 diabetes.
A patient is advised to take the missed dose as soon as possible or skip to the next dose if it's been too late. A patient should never attempt to take a double dose to compensate for the missed dose as it may prove harmful.
Gala - G1 Tablet is not recommended with warfarin as these two drugs are contraindicated with each other and hence may result in any harmful symptom when taken together in heart patients.
Avoid intake of Gala - G1 Tablet and consult a doctor if you have an allergy to sulfa drugs, diabetic ketoacidosis, heart disease, liver or kidney disease, an enzyme deficiency called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD).
Your blood sugar might get decreased, so regular blood glucose monitoring is required. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar level are feeling very hungry, dizziness, irritability, confusion, anxiety or shakiness. Try to eat or drink a fast-acting sugar source (like fruit juice, hard candy, crackers, raisins or non-diet soda).
No, Gala - G1 Tablet is only prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes and not type 1 diabetes. If you are type 1 diabetic patient consult with a doctor so that insulin forms can be prescribed for the same.
The patient is advised to talk to a doctor before taking contraceptive pills if he/she is already taking Gala - G1 Tablet , then the doctor may change the dose of Gala - G1 Tablet . This is because oral contraceptive pills change body responds to the sugar.
