Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Glyzee PM1 is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The detailed uses of Glyzee PM1 are as follows:

  • Manages Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Glyzee PM1 to treat type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone.

Medicinal Benefits

  • Metformin works by reducing the sugar production by cells in the liver and delaying sugar absorption from the intestines. Also, it increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin, which enables these cells to remove sugar more effectively from the blood.
  • Pioglitazone works by increasing the sensitivity of liver, muscle and fat cells to insulin and enabling them to remove glucose from the blood more effectively.
  • This medicine ensures long-lasting glycaemic control, reducing the frequency of dosage. It also prevents unnecessary sugar spikes.

Glyzee PM1 is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone.

Glyzee PM1 contains Glimepiride, Metformin, and Pioglitazone. Glimepiride lowers blood sugar by causing the pancreas to produce insulin. Metformin reduces the production of sugar in the liver and delays sugar absorption from the intestines. Pioglitazone increases the body's sensitivity to insulin. Thereby, Glyzee PM1 helps to control blood sugar levels.

Glyzee PM1 may increase the risk of low blood sugar levels, especially with alcohol intake, when you exercise more than usual, delay or miss snacks or meals. However, if you experience any signs of low blood pressure such as dizziness, nausea, light-headedness, dehydration or fainting, please consult a doctor.

You are not recommended to take Glyzee PM1 with pregabalin as it may cause weight gain and fluid retention that could lead to heart failure. However, please consult a doctor before using Glyzee PM1 with other medicines.

In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin as the islet cells (insulin-producing cells) in the pancreas are completely destroyed. In type 2 diabetes, though islet cells are working, the body does not respond to insulin as the body becomes resistant to it.
