Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's is a combination of anti-diabetic drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong condition that affects the way your body processes glucose. The blood glucose level increases and causes symptoms such as frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger; hence, people with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or, if at all the insulin is produced, it is unable to perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). 

Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's is a combination of three antidiabetic drugs: Glimepiride, Metformin and Voglibose. Glimepiride, which is a 'sulfonylurea', acts by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. Together, these prevent the blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your diabetes under control.

Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's should be taken with food to avoid an upset stomach. Based on your medical condition, your doctor will decide for how long you need to take Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's. Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's may cause certain common side effects such as hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose levels), taste change, nausea, diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache, and upper respiratory symptoms. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time; however, if you experience these side effects persistently, consult your doctor.

Please inform your doctor if you have any type of heart disease, are planning to get pregnant or are breastfeeding.

Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's contains Glimepiride, Metformin and Voglibose. Glimepiride, which is a 'sulfonylurea', acts by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. Metformin, which is a 'biguanide', acts by lowering the glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines and increasing the body's response to insulin. Voglibose, which is an 'alpha-glucosidase inhibitor', prevents the breakdown of complex sugars into simple sugars such as glucose in the intestine. Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's prevents the blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your diabetes under control. Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's also helps to prevent serious complications of diabetes such as kidney damage (Diabetic Nephropathy), blindness (Diabetic Retinopathy), loss of sensation in your hands and feet (Diabetic Neuropathy), Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's also helps to reduce your chance of having a heart attack or stroke. Being a combination of three drugs, Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's reduces the need to take multiple pills and hence makes it easier to remember to take the drugs.

Drug-Drug Interaction: Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's may interact with insulin, high blood pressure-lowering pills (hydrochlorothiazide, amlodipine), water pills/diuretics (furosemide), heart failure-related medicines (digoxin), anti-hypertensive (metoprolol), steroids (prednisolone), thyroid hormones etc. So, tell your doctor if you are using these drugs before taking Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's.

Drug-Food Interaction: Taking Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's with alcoholic beverages may increase the risk of a rare but serious and potentially life-threatening condition known as lactic acidosis (build-up of lactic acid in the blood) and hypoglycaemia.

Drug-Disease Interaction: Glynamic-MV 3/0.3 Tablet 10's should be avoided in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency, kidney problems, liver problems, cardiovascular disease (heart-related issues) and low blood sugar level (hypoglycaemia) as it may worsen the condition.

• It is always better that your physician knows about any underlying conditions like kidney disease or liver disease, prior heart attack, alcohol intake, etc. before the doctor prescribes this medicine.
• Avoid drinking alcohol while on this drug as it increases the risk of hypoglycaemia (a decrease in blood sugar, which might be fatal in some cases) and lactic acidosis (when the lactic acid increases in the body, which impacts the functioning of various organs in the body).
• Try to quit smoking and reduce your intake of carbohydrate-rich food like potatoes, rice, mangoes, bread, sugar, etc.
• Remember, lifestyle modifications are the most important step in controlling blood sugar levels.

Diabetes Mellitus type 2 is a condition in which either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps to decrease sugar levels in the blood) or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, excessive insulin is produced but it fails to act on the organs of the body. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include feeling exhausted all time, feeling thirsty, having blurry vision, and urge to urinate (pee) more often. Complications of type 2 diabetes include skin infection, eye problems (retinopathy), nerve damage (neuropathy), diabetic foot (foot ulcer), kidney disease (nephropathy), high blood pressure and even stroke.
