Uses / Indications
It is primarily used to treat and manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults when lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise alone are not sufficient to manage blood sugar levels.
Key Benefits
Stimulates the functioning beta cells in your pancreas to release more insulin. Efficiently brings down elevated HbA1c and daily blood sugar levels. By keeping glucose within a target range, it prevents long-term, severe diabetic complications such as kidney failure (nephropathy), nerve damage (neuropathy), blindness, and cardiovascular issues.
Administration: Must be swallowed whole with water, typically taken once daily with or immediately after your first substantial meal (breakfast).
Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar): The most common side effect. Symptoms include shakiness, dizziness, sudden sweating, headache, extreme hunger, and confusion.
