About DIAMIG 25MG TABLET

DIAMIG 25MG TABLET belongs to a class of anti-diabetic medications used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone. DIAMIG 25MG TABLET may be used alone or in combination with other medicines. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that affects the way our 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). Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose get into your cells to give them energy. Without insulin, too much glucose stays in your blood. Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, which is also known as adult-onset diabetes.

DIAMIG 25MG TABLET contains Miglitol that works by inhibiting intestinal enzymes that breaks complex sugars into simple sugars like glucose. Thus, DIAMIG 25MG TABLET helps in preventing a very high rise in blood sugar levels immediately after meals.

Take DIAMIG 25MG TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take DIAMIG 25MG TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.

Avoid breastfeeding while taking DIAMIG 25MG TABLET as it may be excreted in human milk. If you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy, please inform your doctor before taking DIAMIG 25MG TABLET. Avoid alcohol consumption with DIAMIG 25MG TABLET as it may decrease blood sugar levels. Drive only if you are alert after taking DIAMIG 25MG TABLET as it may cause low blood sugar levels in some patients. Take short, frequent meals and avoid prolonged fasting when taking DIAMIG 25MG TABLET. Beware of hypoglycemia symptoms (low blood sugar), including sweating, dizziness, palpitations, shivering, intense thirst, dry mouth, dry skin, frequent urination, etc. Whenever you experience any of these symptoms, immediately consult your doctor.
