Glibetic 15mg/2mg Tablet

Glibetic 15mg/2mg Tablet is a tablet made by Ici Pharmaceuticals that contains Pioglitazone + Glimepiride 15mg/2mg, a two-in-one diabetes medicine. It is used for type 2 diabetes. Pack size: 14s tablet.

Uses of Glibetic 15mg/2mg Tablet

Glibetic 15mg/2mg Tablet is used in adults with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar is not well controlled on one medicine, or who are already taking pioglitazone and glimepiride separately. It is used alongside a healthy diet, regular exercise and weight control to lower blood sugar and reduce the long-term risk of diabetes complications.

How Glibetic 15mg/2mg Tablet works

Pioglitazone makes the body’s tissues, especially muscle, fat and liver, more sensitive to insulin. Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin. Working in different ways, the two together lower blood sugar more than either alone.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Glibetic 15mg/2mg Tablet come from both ingredients. The more common ones are:

• Low blood sugar (shakiness, sweating, hunger)
• Weight gain
• Ankle or leg swelling
• Headache
• Dizziness

Get urgent help for breathlessness, rapid weight gain or marked swelling, which may signal heart failure, or for low blood sugar causing confusion or fainting. Report blood in the urine, pain when passing urine, or yellowing of the skin.

Precautions and warnings

• It must not be used if you have or have had heart failure, and you should tell your doctor about any heart problems.
• Tell your doctor if you have had bladder cancer or have blood in your urine, as pioglitazone may slightly raise this risk.
• Keep up regular blood sugar checks and carry a quick source of sugar in case of low blood sugar.
• Let your doctor know if you have kidney or liver disease or a history of bone fractures.
• It is not used for type 1 diabetes or during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
