Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Glucomust M 5/500 Tablet. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

Benefits of Glucomust M 5/500 Tablet
- In Type 2 diabetes
- Glucomust M 5/500 prompts your pancreas to release more insulin, bringing high sugar readings down quickly. Steady control lowers the long-term risk of damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves and blood vessels.
How Glucomust M 5/500 Tablet works
Glipizide closes pancreatic beta‑cell ATP‑sensitive K+ (KATP; SUR1) channels, depolarising the cell and increasing Ca2+ influx to trigger insulin release. Metformin activates AMP‑activated protein kinase (AMPK), suppressing hepatic gluconeogenesis and improving peripheral insulin sensitivity while decreasing intestinal glucose absorption.
How to take Glucomust M 5/500 Tablet
Glucomust M 5/500 Tablet is usually taken 1 tablet once daily with breakfast or the main meal initially; if prescribed twice daily, take with breakfast and dinner to reduce gastrointestinal upset and hypoglycaemia. Swallow whole with water; do not skip meals after taking the 5mg glipizide/500mg metformin combination.
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.

Warnings and precautions
Hypoglycaemia risk is higher with missed meals, heavy exercise, alcohol use, elderly patients, or renal impairment—carry fast‑acting glucose. Metformin component: monitor eGFR before start and periodically; dose review advised when eGFR 30–45 and avoid initiation; stop during dehydration, severe infection, or hypoxic states. Lactic acidosis warning—seek urgent care for rapid breathing, persistent vomiting, severe weakness, abdominal pain. Hepatic impairment increases lactic acidosis/hypoglycaemia risk. Pregnancy: insulin preferred for diabetes management; use only if clinician considers benefit > risk. Breastfeeding: metformin appears in milk in small amounts; glipizide may cause infant hypoglycaemia—medical advice required. Vitamin B12 deficiency can occur with long‑term metformin—periodic B12 assessment in anaemia/neuropathy.
Do not take Glucomust M 5/500 if
Type 1 diabetes mellitus; diabetic ketoacidosis/diabetic coma; eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m²; acute conditions causing hypoxia (shock, sepsis, acute heart failure, respiratory failure); severe hepatic impairment; history of metformin‑associated lactic acidosis; alcoholism or binge drinking; hypersensitivity to glipizide, metformin or other sulfonylureas; temporarily withhold around iodinated contrast procedures and major surgery as advised.
Interactions with other medicines
Alcohol increases risk of metformin‑associated lactic acidosis and potentiates hypoglycaemia; iodinated contrast media can precipitate acute kidney injury leading to metformin accumulation/lactic acidosis; insulin or other antidiabetics (e.g., linagliptin, empagliflozin) additively increase hypoglycaemia risk; beta‑blockers (e.g., propranolol) mask adrenergic warning signs of hypoglycaemia; fluoroquinolones (e.g., levofloxacin) may cause dysglycaemia; corticosteroids/diuretics (prednisolone, hydrochlorothiazide) raise glucose and reduce efficacy; cimetidine reduces metformin renal clearance via OCT2/MATE inhibition increasing exposure; ACE inhibitors (e.g., enalapril) may enhance glucose‑lowering causing hypoglycaemia in some patients; NSAIDs may increase sulfonylurea effect and hypoglycaemia.
