About Eurepa MF 2 Tablet

Eurepa MF 2 Tablet belongs to a class of medicine known as an antidiabetic. It is a combination of two antidiabetic drugs: Repaglinide and Metformin. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong condition affecting how your body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or if the insulin is produced, it cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Due to this, the blood glucose level increases, and symptoms such as frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger start. It can lead to serious complications like skin infection, eye problems (retinopathy), nerve damage (neuropathy), diabetic foot (foot ulcer), kidney disease (nephropathy), high blood pressure, and even stroke.

Repaglinide acts by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. It starts acting so quickly on controlling blood sugar levels immediately after a meal. On the other hand, Metformin, which is a 'biguanide', acts by lowering the liver's glucose production, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines, and increasing the body's response to insulin. In a nutshell, the two medicines prevent blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your Diabetes under control. Eurepa MF 2 Tablet act together to keep your blood sugar levels under check. The strict control of blood sugars is essential to mention the many disabling side effects of Diabetes. Eurepa MF 2 Tablet shows optimum effects when taken along with healthy lifestyle changes like weight loss, regular exercise, healthy diet, etc.

Eurepa MF 2 Tablet should be taken with food to avoid an upset stomach. Eurepa MF 2 Tablet should be taken at the same time of the day each time for the best results. Your doctor will decide what dose should be taken for better advice, which can change quickly depending on your condition. A common side effect of Eurepa MF 2 Tablet is hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose levels), characterized by dizziness, sweating, palpitations, hunger pangs, dry mouth, skin, etc. So, to avoid hypoglycaemia, you should not miss meals and also should carry some form of sugar along with you. Other side effects include taste change, nausea, diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache, and upper respiratory symptoms.

You should not take Eurepa MF 2 Tablet if you have renal impairment, metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis (excess acids in your blood), and receiving gemfibrozil (used to treat abnormal blood lipid levels). Eurepa MF 2 Tablet should not be stopped even if you feel better, without consulting your doctor as your sugar level keeps changing. If you stop taking Eurepa MF 2 Tablet abruptly, it may increase your sugar levels which could further increase the risk of eyesight loss (retinopathy), kidney (nephropathy), and nerve damage (neuropathy). Eurepa MF 2 Tablet should not be taken if you have type 1 diabetes mellitus or severe kidney or liver disease.
