About the Product
Yogamet-GMP 1 Tablet ER is a combination medication used to help manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This medicine works alongside diet and exercise to improve blood glucose control. By enhancing insulin utilization and lowering blood sugar levels, Yogamet-GMP helps to prevent complications related to diabetes such as kidney damage, eye issues, and nerve problems.
Salt Composition/Key Ingredients
- Glimepiride (1mg): A sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps lower blood glucose levels.
- Metformin (500mg): A biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption in the intestines, and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
- Pioglitazone (15mg): A thiazolidinedione that further improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin, helping to control blood glucose more effectively.
How to Use
- Dosage: Follow your doctor’s instructions on the proper dose and frequency. Yogamet-GMP 1 Tablet ER should be taken with food to reduce the risk of stomach upset.
- Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for the next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose.
- Overdose: Overdose may lead to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), so take only the prescribed dose.
- Monitoring: Regular blood sugar monitoring is important while on this medication.
Restrictions
Before taking Yogamet-GMP 1 Tablet ER, inform your doctor if you:
- Have any kidney, liver, or heart problems.
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Have any other medical conditions or are taking other medications that could affect blood sugar or kidney function.
Avoid excessive alcohol consumption as it may increase the risk of side effects, particularly hypoglycemia.
Side Effects
Most side effects do not require medical attention and tend to go away as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or cause concern, consult your doctor. Common side effects include:
- Hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels)
- Headache
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Dizziness
- Vomiting
- Anemia (low red blood cell count)
- Weakness
- Sinus infection
If you experience symptoms of severe low blood sugar (e.g., confusion, shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat), contact your doctor immediately.
How It Works
Yogamet-GMP 1 Tablet ER is a combination of three antidiabetic medications that work in different ways to improve blood sugar control:
- Glimepiride: Stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, helping to lower blood glucose.
- Metformin: Reduces glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption in the intestines, and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
- Pioglitazone: Enhances insulin sensitivity, further improving the body’s ability to control blood sugar.
These combined actions help regulate blood glucose levels effectively, especially when single or dual therapy alone is not enough.
