METDUAL METFORMINE GLIPIZIDE 1000 MG /10 MG 30 TABS

Glipizide-metformin is a combination medication used to treat type 2 diabetes by helping to control high blood sugar levels. It works in two ways: glipizide stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, and metformin reduces the liver's production of glucose and its absorption in the intestine. It is used in conjunction with diet and exercise, and you should never self-medicate without consulting a doctor, who will determine the dosage and duration of treatment, according to the Mayo Clinic and Drugs.com. How the Drugs Work Glipizide: It is a sulfonylurea that tells your pancreas to release more insulin to help your body use and store excess blood sugar after eating. Metformin: It is a biguanide that works in two ways to lower blood sugar: it decreases the amount of glucose produced by the liver and slows down the absorption of glucose in the intestine. What It's Used For It is used as a complementary treatment to diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Important Considerations Consult a doctor: Do not self-medicate; it is essential that a healthcare professional prescribes the correct combination and dosage for you. Alcohol interaction: Metformin can interact with alcohol, which increases the risk of a serious complication called lactic acidosis. Serious side effects: Pay attention to symptoms such as yellowing of the skin and eyes, light-colored stools, dark urine, pain in the upper right side of the stomach, or unusual bleeding and bruising, and seek immediate medical attention if they appear.
