Uses of Glimiscore Mv1 Tablet

Type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise alone or dual therapy is insufficient; helps control post-meal and fasting blood glucose.

How Glimiscore Mv1 Tablet works

Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) increases insulin release from the pancreas. Metformin SR improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production by the liver. Voglibose inhibits intestinal alpha-glucosidase enzymes, delaying carbohydrate absorption and reducing post-meal glucose spikes.

How to take Glimiscore Mv1 Tablet

Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed, typically once daily with/after a main meal (often breakfast) to reduce stomach upset and risk of low sugar. Swallow whole (do not crush/chew) due to sustained-release metformin; follow diet and exercise advice and monitor blood glucose.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Warnings and precautions

May cause hypoglycaemia (especially if meals are skipped, with alcohol, or with other antidiabetics); carry a quick source of sugar. Metformin may rarely cause lactic acidosis—risk increases with kidney impairment, severe infection, dehydration, heavy alcohol use, or heart/liver failure; kidney function monitoring advised. Temporarily stop metformin around iodinated contrast procedures or major surgery as advised by doctor. Use caution in elderly and in people with renal/hepatic impairment. Voglibose may cause significant GI gas/diarrhoea; avoid in intestinal obstruction or severe digestive disorders. Seek medical help for severe weakness, breathing difficulty, persistent vomiting, or signs of pancreatitis (severe abdominal pain).

Expert advice for Glimiscore Mv1 Tablet

Take it shortly before a meal, and eat that meal. Check your sugar as often as your doctor has asked, especially when your routine changes. Take it with or just after food to reduce stomach upset. Keep taking it even when your sugar readings look normal — that is the medicine working. Continue your diet and physical activity; this medicine works alongside them, not instead of them. Take it with the first mouthful of your meal so it can act on that meal. Expect some wind in the first weeks; it usually settles.
