How Glador M 3 Forte works
Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) stimulates the pancreas to release insulin. Metformin (a biguanide) reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, lowering blood sugar levels.
How to take Glador M 3 Forte
Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily with/after meals (preferably with the main meal) to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole; do not crush/chew if SR. Monitor blood glucose regularly.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause severe and prolonged low blood sugar, which may lead to fits or unconsciousness. It can cause a dangerous build-up of acid in the blood, with vomiting, severe weakness and laboured breathing. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
