Glibedac PM 5mg/500mg/15mg Tablet is used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic or life-long condition in which blood sugar or glucose levels rise more than normal. It occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin (metabolizes glucose), or if produced, it cannot function properly in the body.
Glibedac PM 5mg/500mg/15mg Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Glibenclamide, Metformin, and Pioglitazone. Glibenclamide increases the production of insulin by acting on the pancreas. Metformin acts by decreasing liver glucose production and intestinal glucose uptake. Pioglitazone works by decreasing the amount of glucose released by the liver and improving the sensitivity of tissues of muscles and fats towards insulin effects.
You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. You may experience side effects such as nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (falling sick), diarrhoea, stomach ache, respiratory infection, weight gain, numbness, and vision problems. Some patients experience a decline in blood sugar levels lower than normal (hypoglycemia), resulting in sweating, dizziness, headache, confusion, feeling hungry, temporary changes in vision, uneasiness, irritability, and weakness. In such cases, seek medical attention immediately.
Do not take Glibedac PM 5mg/500mg/15mg Tablet if you are allergic to any of its contents. Before taking Glibedac PM 5mg/500mg/15mg Tablet, inform your doctor if you are taking other medicines that include prescription or non-prescription medicines, nutritional supplements, or herbal products.

The risk increases if you are previously diagnosed with kidney or liver diseases. Do not consume alcohol (risk of lactic acidosis) or fast for prolonged periods (risk of hypoglycemia). Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
