About GLIBETIC 5MG TABLET

GLIBETIC 5MG TABLET belongs to the group of antidiabetic medicines called 'sulfonylureas' used to treat type-2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise alone cannot control their blood sugar levels. Type-2 diabetes mellitus is also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Diabetes is a condition in which blood glucose levels are above normal.
 
GLIBETIC 5MG TABLET contains 'Glipizide' which works by increasing insulin production by stimulating insulin secretion from the beta cells of the pancreas, thereby reducing high blood glucose (sugar) levels. 
 
You are advised to take GLIBETIC 5MG TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels), nausea, diarrhoea, and stomach pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are recommended to consult your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

GLIPIZIDE-5MGType 2 diabetes mellitus
Severe
How does the disease interact with Glibetic 5mg Tablet:
Some sulfonylurea medications should not be used to treat diabetic ketoacidosis in individuals who are in or out of the coma. Additionally, these medications shouldn't be the only form of treatment for those with type I diabetes

How to manage the interaction:
Sulfonylureas are contraindicated for the treatment of patients with diabetic ketoacidosis, with or without coma.
GLIPIZIDE-5MGOther disorders of kidney and ureter, not elsewhere classified
Severe
How does the disease interact with Glibetic 5mg Tablet:
Sulfonylureas are broken down in the liver, and their metabolites—some of which have therapeutic potential are eliminated through the urine and feces. Sulfonylureas may cause increased blood drug concentrations in patients with impaired liver and/or renal function, increasing the risk of severe hypoglycemia episodes brought on by these medications. Hepatic impairment may also result in a reduction in gluconeogenic ability, raising the risk even higher. Patients with hepatic and/or renal illness should receive sulfonylurea therapy with caution. It could be necessary to use lower doses and space out dosage adjustments more often. Due to decreased metabolism and/or medication excretion, these patients may experience extended hypoglycemia if it develops while they are receiving therapy

How to manage the interaction:
In patients with impaired kidney function, sulfonylureas may be exposed to higher serum drug concentrations leading to low blood sugar episodes. Therapy with sulfonylureas should be administered cautiously in patients with kidney disease.

FAQs

GLIBETIC 5MG TABLET works by increasing insulin production by stimulating insulin secretion from the beta cells of the pancreas, thereby reduces high blood glucose (sugar) levels.

GLIBETIC 5MG TABLET may sometimes lower the blood glucose levels more than normal, leading to hypoglycemia. Regularly monitor your blood sugar levels while taking GLIBETIC 5MG TABLET.

Hypoglycaemia may occur following prolonged or severe exercise, during illness, alcohol consumption, low food intake, or when GLIBETIC 5MG TABLET is taken along with other antidiabetic medicines.

Maintain a healthy diet by regular intake of carbohydrates such as bread and products containing starch and sugar. Eat your meals regularly, and do not exercise heavily for a longer duration with an empty stomach. Try to keep sugar candies and when you feel symptoms of low blood sugar like excessive hunger, sweating, feeling tired, dizziness, feeling hungry, feeling shaky, and fast heartbeat, immediately take it.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Type-2 diabetes mellitus: It is also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes, a chronic disease that keeps the body from utilizing insulin properly. Diabetes is a condition in which blood glucose levels are above normal. Insulin is the hormone that controls sugar levels in your blood. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce sufficient insulin or the insulin produced cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, hence it is also called adult-onset diabetes. Type 2 diabetes symptoms include lack of energy, tiredness, frequent urination, excess thirst, dry mouth, blurry vision, constant hunger, weight loss, and itchy skin.
