About Diabetrol Tablet

Diabetrol Tablet belongs to a class of anti-diabetic drugs used in treating type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) condition affecting how the body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or the insulin produced cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance).

Diabetrol Tablet is a combination of two anti-diabetic drugs: Glyburide and Metformin. Glyburide works by stimulating beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Thus, insulin helps to remove sugar from the blood. Metformin reduces sugar production by cells in the liver and delays sugar absorption from the intestines. Also, it increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin which enables these cells to remove sugar more effectively from the blood. Together, Diabetrol Tablet helps treat type 2 diabetes.

Take Diabetrol Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Diabetrol Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. You may sometimes experience low blood sugar, nausea, diarrhoea, upset stomach and headache.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Diabetes Mellitus type 2: Diabetes Mellitus type 2 is a condition in which either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps to decrease sugar levels in the blood) or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, excessive insulin is produced but fails to act on the body's organs. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include feeling exhausted all time, feeling thirsty, having blurry vision, and having the urge to urinate (pee) more often. Complications of type 2 diabetes include skin infection, eye problems (retinopathy), nerve damage (neuropathy), delayed wound healing, diabetic foot (foot ulcer), kidney disease (nephropathy), high blood pressure, and even stroke. Both low and high blood sugar levels can be dangerous and should be treated as soon as possible.
