Description:
Glicaday-M is a combination medication used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two active ingredients: glicazide, which is a sulfonylurea, and metformin, which is a biguanide. This combination helps to control blood sugar levels effectively.
Indications:
Management of type 2 diabetes in adults, particularly when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate glycemic control.
It may be prescribed when metformin alone is not sufficient to control blood glucose levels.
Mechanism of Action:
Glicazide: Stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps lower blood sugar levels.
Metformin: Decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, allowing the body to use glucose more effectively.
Dosage:
The dosage of Glicaday-M should be determined by a healthcare professional based on individual patient needs and blood glucose levels. It is typically taken orally with meals to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.
Side Effects:
Common side effects may include:
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
Abdominal pain
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
Weight gain (more common with glicazide)
Precautions:
Monitor blood sugar levels regularly to ensure effective management of diabetes.
Inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, as there may be interactions.
Use caution in patients with kidney or liver impairment, as dosage adjustments may be necessary.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
