AJAPRIDE M2 TAB

Description

Ajapride M2 Tab is a fixed-dose combination medication used in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The tablet combines two active ingredients:

• Metformin (500 mg): A biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and increases insulin sensitivity in muscles, helping lower blood sugar levels.

• Glimepiride (2 mg): A sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, thereby aiding in the reduction of blood sugar levels.

How It Works:

• Metformin: Works primarily by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin, which helps to lower blood sugar levels after meals.

• Glimepiride: Stimulates the pancreas to produce and release more insulin, improving the body’s ability to process glucose.

Key Benefits:

• Helps Control Blood Sugar: This combination therapy helps lower both fasting and post-meal blood glucose levels.

• Dual Action: Metformin reduces insulin resistance, while Glimepiride boosts insulin production, making it effective for patients who need help both with insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion.

Indications:

• Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: For adults who cannot control their blood sugar through diet and exercise alone.

Dosage:

• Typically, one tablet per day, but the exact dosage and frequency will be prescribed by your healthcare provider based on your specific condition and treatment goals.

• Take the tablet with food to minimize gastrointestinal side effects.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects: Nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and dizziness.

• Serious side effects: Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially if meals are skipped or if excess Glimepiride is taken.

Precautions:

• Kidney or Liver Issues: Be cautious if you have kidney or liver problems, as Metformin and Glimepiride may not be suitable for patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment.

• Hypoglycemia: Since Glimepiride can cause low blood sugar, be sure to monitor your blood sugar regularly.

• Alcohol: Limit alcohol intake, as it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
