Overview

Isryl-M 3 Tablet PR is an anti-diabetic medication used to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It combines two active ingredients—Glimepiride and Metformin—to effectively regulate blood sugar levels.

Key Benefits

✅ Controls blood sugar by increasing insulin production (Glimepiride) and improving insulin sensitivity (Metformin).
✅ Reduces the risk of diabetes complications like kidney damage, nerve problems, and vision issues.
✅ Supports long-term diabetes management when combined with diet, exercise, and weight control.

Dosage & Administration

• Take with food to minimize stomach upset.

• Consistently take at the same time daily for best results.

• Do not stop abruptly without consulting your doctor—this can cause blood sugar spikes.

• Missed dose? Take it as soon as remembered, but skip if close to the next dose. Do not double dose.

How It Works

• Glimepiride (Sulfonylurea): Stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin.

• Metformin (Biguanide):

  • Reduces glucose production in the liver.

  • Slows sugar absorption in the intestines.

  • Enhances insulin sensitivity in the body.

Possible Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and temporary:

• Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar) – Sweating, dizziness, shaking, headache.

  • Management: Carry a fast-acting sugar source (juice, candy).

• Digestive Issues – Nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain.

• Other Effects – Taste changes, weight gain, upper respiratory infections.

Important Safety Warnings

⚠ Avoid Alcohol – Increases hypoglycemia risk and lactic acidosis (with Metformin).
⚠ Not for Type 1 Diabetes or Diabetic Ketoacidosis.
⚠ Kidney/Liver Issues:

• Use cautiously in mild-moderate cases.
