Introduction

Glura MP 500 Tablet SR is indicated for improving glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It helps control blood sugar levels and prevents serious complications. The medication may be prescribed alone or with other diabetes medicines. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, and constipation. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is a possible side effect, especially when taken with other diabetes medicines. Consult your doctor if you have kidney, heart, or pancreas problems, or if you consume alcohol frequently. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medicine.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it. Glura MP 500 Tablet SR may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

Glura MP 500 Tablet SR is a combination of three antidiabetic medications. Metformin decreases glucose absorption from food and glucose production by the liver, and increases the body's response to insulin. Pioglitazone enhances cellular responsiveness to insulin and increases insulin-dependent glucose utilization and disposal. Sitagliptin increases substances (incretins) that make the pancreas release more insulin and signals the liver to stop producing glucose when there is too much sugar in the blood.

Prefer taking Glura MP 500 Tablet SR after a meal or with a snack to reduce the chance of an upset stomach. Glura MP 500 Tablet SR may cause hypoglycemia when used with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol, or if you delay or miss a meal. Always carry some sugary food or fruit juice with you. If you get unusually thirsty, pass urine more frequently, and feel tired, let your doctor know. These are signs of high blood sugar and your dose may need adjusting. Monitor your blood sugar regularly while taking this medicine. Lifestyle changes like a low sugar diet, exercising, losing weight, not smoking, and cutting down on alcohol intake may help this medication work better.
