About Gliclapack MV 0.3mg/500mg/80mg Tablet

GLICLAZIDE+METFORMIN+VOGLIBOSE belongs to a class of medicine known as an antidiabetic primarily indicated in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.  Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong condition that affects the way your body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or if at all the insulin is produced, it is unable to 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.

GLICLAZIDE+METFORMIN+VOGLIBOSE is a combination of three anti-diabetic drugs, namely: Voglibose, Metformin, and Gliclazide.
Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that prevents the breakdown of complex sugars into simple sugars such as glucose. In this way, it prevents the sudden rise in sugar levels after every meal. Gliclazide is a 'sulfonylurea', which acts by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. On the other hand, Metformin, which is a 'biguanide', acts by lowering the glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines, and increasing the body's response to insulin. In a nutshell, the three medicines together prevent the blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels thus keeping your Diabetes under control. GLICLAZIDE+METFORMIN+VOGLIBOSE act together to keep your blood sugar levels under check. The strict control of blood sugars is especially important to mention the many disabling side effects of Diabetes. GLICLAZIDE+METFORMIN+VOGLIBOSE shows optimum effects when taken along with healthy lifestyle changes like weight loss, regular exercise, a healthy diet, etc. 

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

You should not take GLICLAZIDE+METFORMIN+VOGLIBOSE if you have diabetic ketoacidosis (excess acids in your blood). GLICLAZIDE+METFORMIN+VOGLIBOSE should not be stopped even if you feel better, without consulting your doctor as the sugar level keeps changing. If you stop taking GLICLAZIDE+METFORMIN+VOGLIBOSE abruptly, it may increase your sugar levels which could further increase the risk of eyesight loss (retinopathy), kidney (nephropathy), and nerve damage (neuropathy). GLICLAZIDE+METFORMIN+VOGLIBOSE should not be taken if you have type 1 diabetes mellitus, severe kidney, or liver disease. Please inform your doctor if you have any heart disease, are or are planning to get pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
