Glypten Tablet is an antidiabetic medication. It works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreasing the hormones that raise blood sugar levels. This reduces the fasting and postmeal sugar levels.

Glypten Tablet should be taken at the same time every day since this helps you remember to take it. Be careful while driving or operating machinery until you know how Glypten Tablet affects you. It may cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) 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 in case you experience hypoglycemia symptoms such as cold sweats, cool pale skin, tremor and anxiety. Inform your doctor if you notice joint pains or develop symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea and/or vomiting.
