Composition
Glipizide 5mg + Metformin 500mg
Uses of Glucomust M 5/500 Tablet
Type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults with inadequate glycaemic control on metformin alone; add-on therapy when fasting and post‑prandial glucose remain elevated despite diet and exercise.
How it 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.
Directions for use

Swallow whole with water; do not skip meals after taking the 5mg glipizide/500mg metformin combination.

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.
