Product Description

Product Name: Glucovance  Tablets 5mg/500mg

Product Form: Tablets

Pack Size: 30's

Manufactured By: Martin Dow Pharmaceuticals

Used For:

  • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Helps control blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient. Glibenclamide stimulates insulin release, while metformin improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production in the liver.

Side Effects:

  • Common:
    • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar, more likely due to glibenclamide)
    • Gastrointestinal upset (nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort)
    • Weight gain (associated with glibenclamide)
  • Less Common:
    • Lactic acidosis (rare but serious; related to metformin, especially in patients with kidney impairment)
    • Allergic reactions (rare)

Precautions:

  • Blood Sugar Monitoring: Regular checks are essential to avoid hypoglycemia.
  • Kidney Function: Monitoring is important to reduce the risk of lactic acidosis.
  • Alcohol: Limit intake as it can affect blood sugar levels and increase the risk of lactic acidosis.
  • Diet and Exercise: Continue a proper diet and exercise regimen while using this medication
