Glymet 5/500mg Tablet

Glymet 5/500mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that combines two powerful ingredients from the anti-diabetic class – Glibenclamide and Metformin. While it belongs to a class called sulfonylureas with biguanides, this combination works together to help manage your condition effectively when taken as directed by your doctor. Some common side effects include nausea, dizziness, stomach upset, or feeling low on energy. Always follow your physician’s advice, and don’ stop or adjust the dosage on your own—this tablet works best when taken consistently alongside regular monitoring, food habits, and routine.

Take Glymet 5/500mg Tablet by mouth after meals with a full glass of water, exactly as prescribed by your doctor—usually once or twice daily depending on your condition.

The usual dose starts at one tablet daily and may be adjusted based on the individual’s needs, with a maximum of up to two tablets per day under medical supervision.

Do not take Glymet 5/500mg Tablet if you have severe kidney or liver disease, a history of lactic acidosis, heart failure, allergy to Glibenclamide or Metformin, or are undergoing major surgery or imaging procedures involving contrast dye. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor first.

Avoid alcohol as it may increase the risk of lactic acidosis and can cause a rapid drop in blood sugar. Inform your pharmacist or doctor if you are taking diuretics, corticosteroids, certain antibiotics (like ciprofloxacin), or medications for heart or thyroid conditions, as these can interfere with how Glymet works. Grapefruit juice and high-fat meals may also alter effectiveness—talk to your healthcare provider for detailed diet guidance.
