Product Description

Product Name: Safgo Tablets 2mg

Pack Size: 20's

Manufactured By: Saffron Pharmaceuticals

Used For:

• Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Helps control blood sugar levels by increasing insulin secretion from the pancreas. Often used in combination with diet, exercise, or other antidiabetic medications when these alone do not provide adequate control.

Side Effects:

• Common Side Effects:
  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), especially if taken without food
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Nausea and mild stomach upset
  • Weight gain
• Serious Side Effects:
  • Severe hypoglycemia (leading to confusion, fainting, or seizures if untreated)
  • Allergic reactions (skin rash, itching, swelling)
  • Liver enzyme changes or liver dysfunction (rare)
  • Blood cell count changes (rare but possible)

Precautions:

• Risk of Hypoglycemia: Patients should monitor for symptoms of low blood sugar, especially when meals are skipped, or physical activity increases.
• Kidney and Liver Function: Use with caution in patients with kidney or liver impairment, as glimepiride is metabolized in the liver and excreted by the kidneys.
• Alcohol Consumption: Alcohol can increase the risk of hypoglycemia; therefore, it should be limited.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Generally avoided in pregnancy; insulin is usually preferred for blood sugar control.
• Interactions with Other Medications: Certain medications (e.g., NSAIDs, beta-blockers) may increase or decrease the effect of glimepiride.
