Azukon M Tablet

Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Azukon-M Tablet should be taken with or after food.

Azukon-M Tablet is a combination of gliclazide and metformin. Gliclazide stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps lower the amount of glucose in the blood after meals. At the same time, Metformin reduces the production of glucose in the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin, allowing glucose to be utilized more efficiently by the muscles and other tissues. Together, they help maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.

If you feel shaky, sweaty, confused or unusually hungry, take sugar, glucose or a sweet drink at once and tell your doctor — these are signs your blood sugar has fallen too low. Do not skip meals while on this medicine — a missed meal is the commonest cause of a low-sugar episode. Carry glucose, sugar or sweets with you, and tell the people you live and work with what a low-sugar episode looks like. Older people and people with kidney trouble are more likely to have low sugar, and may need a smaller dose. Stomach upset is common in the first two weeks and usually settles; taking it with food helps. Tell your doctor before any surgery or a scan that uses contrast dye — this medicine is usually stopped for a short time around them. Stop and seek urgent care if you develop deep rapid breathing, severe weakness, muscle pain or vomiting with cold clammy skin. This is rare but serious. Long-term use can lower vitamin B12, so your doctor may check it from time to time.

Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
