DIANOROM TOTAL 60 TAB

About

This medication is an oral antidiabetic agent designed to help manage blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works through various mechanisms that may include reducing glucose production by the liver, improving the body's sensitivity to insulin in peripheral tissues, and/or stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas in a glucose-dependent manner. By targeting these key pathophysiological pathways, it effectively helps to lower both fasting and postprandial blood sugar, contributing to better overall glycemic control and a reduction in HbA1c levels. This medication is typically used as an adjunct to diet and exercise when lifestyle modifications alone are insufficient to achieve target blood glucose levels, providing a crucial component of a comprehensive diabetes management plan.

Uses

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
• Improvement of glycemic control.
• Reduction of HbA1c levels.
• Used as an adjunct to diet and exercise.

Directions For Use

Take this medication orally, as directed by your physician. Follow the prescribed dosage and timing, usually with meals to minimize potential gastrointestinal upset.

Benefits

• Effective blood glucose lowering.

• Better control of postprandial glucose.
• Helps achieve target HbA1c levels.
• Convenient oral administration.

Side Effects

• Gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, diarrhea)
• Abdominal pain
• Headache
• Dizziness

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Avoid excessive alcohol consumption as it can increase the risk of hypoglycemia and, if Metformin is present, lactic acidosis.
• Pregnancy - Generally not recommended during pregnancy. Consult your doctor, as alternative treatments may be necessary to manage diabetes safely during this period.
• Breastfeeding - Not recommended during breastfeeding as components may pass into breast milk. Discuss with your healthcare provider.
• Liver - Use with caution in patients with liver impairment, as it may affect drug metabolism and increase the risk of adverse effects. Regular monitoring is advised.
• Kidney - Use with caution and potential dose adjustment in patients with kidney impairment, as accumulation of the drug or its metabolites can occur, increasing side effect risk.
• Lung - Use with caution in patients with severe lung conditions, as these may predispose to hypoxia and potentially increase the risk of lactic acidosis if Metformin is a component.
