Glucomust M Tablet is commonly used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. This combination medicine belongs to the class of antidiabetic medications.

In addition to its primary use, this medicine also helps to improve the body's sensitivity to insulin, which can be beneficial in maintaining optimal blood sugar levels. It's particularly effective when dietary changes and exercise alone haven't provided adequate control over blood sugar levels.

Before taking this medicine, you should consult your doctor for an accurate dosage and frequency. It's also important to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you experience any side effects while taking this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. Be sure to continue taking the medication for the duration prescribed by your doctor for best results.

Glucomust M Tablet is used for the following:

Managing type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults: This is when your body doesn't use insulin properly and can't control the amount of sugar in your blood.
Controlling high blood sugar levels: High blood sugar can cause health problems like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, eye problems, and nerve damage.
Improving glycemic control: This helps to keep your blood sugar levels within a target range set by your doctor.
Lowering basal and postprandial blood glucose: Basal blood glucose is the amount of sugar in your blood when you're fasting, while postprandial refers to blood glucose levels after eating.

Directions for Use of Glucomust M Tablet 10

Here's how you should take Glucomust M Tablet:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Avoid crushing or chewing it, as this can change how the medicine works.
Always follow your doctor's instructions on when and how to take this medication.
Don't stop taking this medicine without first consulting your doctor.

Glucomust M Tablet is taken orally.

Glucomust M Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Hypoglycaemia: This is a condition where your blood sugar level drops too low.
Nausea
Diarrhoea
Abdominal pain
Headache
Dizziness
Asthenia: This means feeling weak or lacking energy.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing the use of Glucomust M Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Hypoglycaemia: It's best to take Glucomust M Tablet with meals to avoid a drop in blood sugar.
Diarrhoea: Consider taking this medicine with food or water to reduce this effect.

Glucomust M Tablet contains two active ingredients that work together to manage type 2 diabetes:

Glibenclamide (5 mg): This component stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, a hormone that helps your body use glucose (sugar) for energy.
Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient works to reduce the amount of glucose that your liver produces and makes your body more responsive to insulin. This helps to maintain a balanced blood sugar level.

Pregnancy

Glucomust M Tablet is not recommended during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, it's important to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medication.

Breastfeeding

Glibenclamide and metformin, the active ingredients in Glucomust M Tablet, are excreted in human milk. If you are breastfeeding, a decision should be made in consultation with a doctor, whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue the medication, keeping in mind its importance to you.

Alcohol

Excessive alcohol intake while on Glucomust M Tablet can potentiate the effect of metformin on lactate metabolism. It's wise to limit your alcohol consumption while taking this medicine.

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Glucomust M Tablet in case of mild to moderate liver impairment. This medication may affect liver function, so it's best to discuss any liver-related concerns with your doctor before starting treatment.

Kidney

Glucomust M Tablet is contraindicated in patients with renal disease or dysfunction. If you have kidney problems, make sure to discuss them with your doctor before starting Glucomust M Tablet.

Using Machines & Driving

No specific caution is required while using machines or driving when on Glucomust M Tablet. However, if you experience side effects like dizziness or lightheadedness, avoid such activities until you feel well.

Allergy

If you're allergic to glibenclamide, metformin, or any other components of Glucomust M Tablet, refrain from using this medicine. Consult your doctor for an alternative medication.

Children

The safety and effectiveness of Glucomust M Tablet have not been established in patients below 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving this medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Glucomust M Tablet should be used with caution as age increases. Older patients should take Glucomust M Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects and might also have liver and kidney issues. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Glucomust M Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Beta-Blockers: These medicines, like propranolol or atenolol, may hide some signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) caused by Glucomust M Tablet.
Insulin and Oral Hypoglycemics: If you're using insulin or other medicines to manage blood sugar like glimepiride, you might need a lower dose while taking Glucomust M Tablet to avoid hypoglycaemia.
Cationic medications: Some medicines like amiloride, quinidine, or ranitidine that are eliminated by renal tubular secretion could potentially interact with metformin in Glucomust M Tablet.
Hyperglycaemia-inducing Medicines: Certain medicines like corticosteroids or thyroid products might increase blood sugar levels and affect glycemic control when taken alongside Glucomust M Tablet.

Drug-Food Interactions

Specific foods can influence the way Glucomust M Tablet works.

High-Fibre Foods: Consuming high-fibre foods can slow down the absorption of glibenclamide in your body, reducing its effectiveness.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Glucomust M Tablet interacts with the following diseases:

Renal Disease: If you have kidney disease, taking Glucomust M Tablet might worsen your condition as it contains metformin, which is primarily excreted through the kidneys.
Congestive Heart Failure: Patients with heart failure requiring pharmacological treatment should be cautious while taking this medicine due to the presence of glibenclamide and metformin.
Metabolic Acidosis: Glucomust M Tablet can exacerbate conditions like metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis, due to its metformin component.
G6PD Deficiency: This medicine contains glibenclamide, a sulfonylurea that could cause haemolytic anaemia in people with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Glucomust M Tablet should be taken as your doctor advises. This can vary based on personal factors like how severe your condition is and how you respond to the medicine. Always stick to the dosage your doctor prescribes, and don't exceed this amount without consulting with them first.

Over Dose

If you take more Glucomust M Tablet than the prescribed amount, you might experience symptoms like low blood sugar levels, tiredness, or a headache. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take your Glucomust M Tablet at the scheduled time, take it as soon as you remember. But if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and return to your usual routine. Never increase your dose without speaking to your doctor first.

Store Glucomust M Tablet below 30°C.
Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture; a cool, dry place is best.
Keep this medicine out of reach of children.
Note the expiry date on the package and make sure you use the tablets before then.

Aim to maintain a balanced diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. These foods help manage blood sugar levels, which is essential when managing type 2 diabetes.
Regular exercise will improve your body's sensitivity to insulin, helping the Glucomust M Tablet work more effectively. Remember to consult your doctor about the kind of exercise that is right for you.
