- Introduction About GLYCOMET GP 0.5MG TABLET
- Glycomet GP 0.5mg Tablet is a combination medication used to manage type 2 diabetes. It contains metformin and glimepiride, which work together to control blood sugar levels and improve the body’s response to insulin. This medication is effective in helping diabetic patients achieve better glycemic control.
- Glycomet GP 0.5mg Tablet should be taken with food. To get the best results, take it consistently at the same time every day. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose for you, which may be adjusted over time based on your blood sugar levels and how the medication is working.
- Continue taking this medication, even if you feel fine or your blood sugar levels are under control. Stopping it without your doctor’s guidance can lead to an increase in blood sugar, putting you at risk of kidney damage, blindness, nerve issues, and limb loss.

To reduce the risk, ensure you have regular meals and always carry a quick source of glucose, like sugary snacks or fruit juice. Alcohol consumption can also increase the risk of low blood sugar, so it is best to avoid it. Some people may also experience weight gain while taking this medication.
- You should avoid taking this medication if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis (high blood acid levels), or severe kidney or liver disease. Prior to using this medicine, inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, as it may not be appropriate for you. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor’s advice before use.
