Composition of Glyciphage 500 Tablet
Glyciphage 500 Tablet contains Metformin hydrochloride 500 mg. It belongs to the Biguanide class of medicines.
Uses of Glyciphage 500 Tablet
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus (to control blood sugar) along with diet
- Exercise
- May be used alone or with other antidiabetic medicines
Benefits of Glyciphage 500 Tablet
- In Type 2 diabetes
- Glyciphage lowers the amount of sugar your liver releases and helps your body use its own insulin, so blood sugar stays in a steadier range through the day. Keeping sugar controlled over the years protects the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart from the damage diabetes causes.
How Glyciphage 500 Tablet works
Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and reduces absorption of glucose from the intestine. It also improves insulin sensitivity in muscles, helping cells use glucose more effectively and lowering blood sugar without usually causing hypoglycaemia when used alone.
How to take Glyciphage 500 Tablet
Oral tablet. Take as prescribed, usually with or after meals to reduce stomach upset. Swallow with water; do not crush/chew unless advised. Take at the same time each day; dose is titrated based on blood glucose and tolerance.
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 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.
Side effects of Glyciphage 500 Tablet
Most side effects of Glyciphage are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Nausea
- vomiting
- diarrhoea
- abdominal pain
- loss of appetite
- metallic taste
- flatulence
- vitamin B12 deficiency (long-term)
- headache
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
