Description
Blisto-1 – Strip of 10 Tablets
Composition: Each tablet contains:
- Glimepiride IP 1 mg
- Excipients q.s. (Quantity sufficient to make up the tablet)
Indications: Blisto-1 is used to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults, particularly in cases where blood glucose levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone. It is often prescribed when a single oral antidiabetic agent is insufficient to achieve desired glucose control.
Mechanism of Action:
- Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that works by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin. Additionally, it enhances the body’s sensitivity to insulin, helping to lower blood sugar levels more effectively.
Dosage:
- The exact dosage of Blisto-1 should be determined by the treating physician, based on the patient’s blood glucose levels and individual needs.
- Typically, the starting dose is 1 mg once daily, which can be increased gradually as required.
- It is commonly taken once daily with breakfast or the first meal of the day.
Usage:
- Take the tablet with a full glass of water.
- It is best to take Blisto-1 with food to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia.
- Adherence to the prescribed dosage is crucial to effectively control blood glucose levels.
Precautions:
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can occur, especially if meals are missed, physical activity is increased, or alcohol is consumed.
- Regular monitoring of blood glucose is essential.
- Exercise caution if you have liver or kidney problems, as dose adjustments may be needed.
- Ensure the healthcare provider is aware of all other medications being taken, as Glimepiride can interact with other drugs.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication.
Storage Instructions:
