Glimet DS Tablet is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Glimet DS Tablet promotes insulin secretion from the beta cells of the pancreas and reduces the glucose output from the liver. It works by reducing the sugar production by cells in the liver and delaying sugar absorption from the intestines.
You are not recommended to stop taking Glimet DS Tablet on your own, as discontinuing Glimet DS Tablet suddenly may cause recurring symptoms or worsen the condition. However, if you experience any difficulty while taking Glimet DS Tablet , please consult your doctor so that alternative medicine may be prescribed.
In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin as the islet cells (insulin-producing cells) in the pancreas are destroyed completely. In type 2 diabetes, though islet cells are working, the body does not respond to insulin as the body becomes resistant to insulin.
Glimet DS Tablet should preferably be taken with meals. Taking it with food helps reduce gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, stomach discomfort, and diarrhoea while helping maintain blood sugar control.
Glimet DS Tablet contains two anti-diabetic drugs, namely Glipizide and Metformin, as its active ingredients.
Glimet DS Tablet may cause side effects such as low blood sugar, nausea, indigestion, headache, diarrhoea, stomach pain, or blurred vision. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Yes, Glimet DS Tablet can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Symptoms may include hunger, dizziness, sweating, headache, nausea, irritability, shakiness, anxiety, or a fast heartbeat. The risk increases if you miss or delay meals, exercise more than usual, consume alcohol, or take other antidiabetic medicines. If you experience symptoms of low blood sugar, consume a fast-acting source of sugar such as fruit juice, glucose tablets, or candy. Regular blood sugar monitoring is recommended.
Yes, the use of Glimet DS Tablet can cause lactic acidosis. It is a medical emergency which occurs due to increased levels of lactic acid in the blood. It is also known as MALA (Metformin associated lactic acidosis). It is a rare side effect associated with the metformin and thus, it is contraindicated in patients with underlying kidney disease, elderly patients or who consume large amounts of alcohol. Symptoms of lactic acidosis may include muscle pain or weakness, feeling of cold in arms and legs, dizziness, tiredness, difficulty in breathing, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting or slow heart rate. If you experience these symptoms, stop taking Glimet DS Tablet and consult your doctor immediately.
Yes, long term use of Glimet DS Tablet can cause Vitamin B12 deficiency. It interferes with absorption of Vitamin B12 in the stomach. If untreated, it may cause nerve problems and anemia and the patient may feel numbness and tingling sensation in the hands and feet, urinary problems, weakness, change in mental status and difficulty in maintaining balance (ataxia). To prevent such problems, some researchers recommend an intake of Vitamin B12 from external sources at least once a year.
Glimet DS Tablet is contraindicated in patients with known allergy to any of its components or excipients. Also, it should be avoided in patients with moderate to severe kidney disease and in patients with underlying metabolic acidosis including diabetic ketoacidosis.
No. Alcohol should be avoided or strictly limited while taking Glimet DS Tablet because it can increase the risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and lactic acidosis, a rare but serious medical condition associated with metformin.
Store Glimet DS Tablet at room temperature protected from moisture. Keep it out of reach of children.
Glimet DS Tablet overdose can result in serious complications such as hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) or lactic acidosis. Hence, if you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention immediately.

If you experience signs of low blood sugar, such as sweating, shakiness, or dizziness, immediately consume 15 grams of fast-acting sugar (like fruit juice, soda, or hard candy). Wait 15 minutes, check your blood sugar again, and repeat if necessary. Talk to your doctor if this happens frequently.
