INTRODUCTION

ACCUGLIM MP is a combination of Glimepiride, Metformin and Pioglitazone which belongs to the group of medicines called Antidiabetic agents. It is used in adults to manage type II diabetes mellitus when diet, exercise and management with single agent does not result in adequate sugar control.

Type II diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by abnormally high levels of glucose in the blood. It is caused due to inadequate production of a hormone called insulin (produced by pancreas to metabolize glucose) in the body or due to inadequate sensitivity of body cells to the actions of insulin.

Before taking ACCUGLIM MP, inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney or heart problems. You must also inform your doctor if you have any eye problems, hormonal imbalance, alcoholism, or if you are malnourished, starved, on an irregular diet as a precaution.

ACCUGLIM MP is strictly not recommended for use in patients with type I diabetes mellitus, bladder cancer, severe heart failure or lactic acidosis. It is also not suitable for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Along with the management, follow the diet and lifestyle changes advised by your doctor to achieve better results. Avoid smoking and consumption of alcohol while taking ACCUGLIM MP as it may aggravate your existing condition.

The most common side effects of taking ACCUGLIM MP are low blood sugar levels, nausea, stomach upset, constipation, sore throat, muscle pain, headache, dizziness and weight gain. Consult your doctor if any of these side effect worsens.

USES OF ACCUGLIM MP

  • Manage type II diabetes mellitus

HOW ACCUGLIM MP WORKS

ACCUGLIM MP stimulates the pancreas to secrete more insulin (a hormone involved in glucose metabolism). It also makes our body more sensitive to insulin which helps in digesting the circulating sugars (glucose) in the blood, thereby reducing blood sugar levels. Additionally, it can also reduce the glucose produced by the liver and reduces its absoprtion in the body.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Take ACCUGLIM MP preferably after meals or as advised by your physician. Swallow the medicine with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine.

Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration of therapy for you depending upon your age, body weight and disease condition.

Do not stop taking ACCUGLIM MP unless your doctor advice you to stop.
