Gluride 2mg

Gluride 2 mg is an oral antidiabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to the sulfonylurea class of drugs and works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, thereby helping to lower blood sugar levels. This medication is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

The 2 mg dosage is suitable for patients who require moderate glucose control, and it is usually taken once daily with breakfast or the first main meal of the day. The drug’s effect helps to maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day, reducing the risk of hyperglycemia. However, it should be used with caution in patients with kidney or liver impairment, as well as in elderly individuals.

Common side effects include mild hypoglycemia, dizziness, nausea, and weight gain. Severe hypoglycemia may occur if the medication is taken in excess or combined with other glucose-lowering treatments without proper medical supervision. Regular blood sugar monitoring is essential while using this medication to prevent complications.

Gluride 2 mg is not recommended for individuals with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. It should also be avoided by patients with a known allergy to sulfonylureas. Consulting a healthcare professional before starting or adjusting the dosage is crucial to ensure safe and effective treatment.
