Managing the Side Effects:

Hypoglycaemia: If you experience low blood sugar after taking this medicine, consider having a small meal or snack.
Nausea and vomiting: Try taking Glynase Tablet with food to lessen this effect.

Glynase Tablet consists of Glipizide (5 mg), which works as follows:

Pancreatic Stimulation: Glipizide triggers your pancreas to secrete more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps manage the level of glucose, or sugar, in your blood.
Insulin Sensitivity Enhancement: This medicine aids in making peripheral tissues in your body more receptive to insulin. This means that these tissues can absorb and utilise more glucose from your bloodstream.
Reduction of Glucose Output: It helps to reduce the amount of glucose produced and released by your liver into the bloodstream. This action helps lower your overall blood sugar levels.

By combining these actions, glipizide assists in maintaining stable blood sugar levels and managing type 2 diabetes effectively.
