Recilet Tablet is used in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains Metformin and Glibenclamide, which works by reducing the sugar production by cells in the liver and delays sugar absorption from the intestines. Also, it stimulates beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Thus, insulin helps to remove sugar from the blood. In some cases, you may experience stomach pain, nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, headache or low blood sugar. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

Drug Warnings

Do not take Recilet Tablet if you are allergic to metformin, glibenclamide or other contents. Recilet Tablet may cause ‘lactic acidosis’ (buildup of lactic acid in the blood), characterized by abdominal pain, muscle cramps, vomiting, severe fatigue, and difficulty breathing. It is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor if you have any severe liver or kidney problems, as their normal functioning is required to eliminate excess lactic acid from the body. Do not consume excess alcohol, as it increases the risk of lactic acidosis.
