Triglucored Forte Tablet 10's

Triglucored Forte 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.

Triglucored Forte 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 Triglucored Forte Tablet if you are allergic to any of its contents. Before taking Triglucored Forte Tablet , inform your doctor if you are taking other medicines that include prescription or non-prescription medicines, nutritional supplements, or herbal products. Do not stop this medication abruptly, even if you feel better. Triglucored Forte Tablet may cause ‘lactic acidosis’ (accumulation of lactic acid in the blood), which requires immediate medical attention. 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.

Triglucored Forte Tablet contains 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. Together Triglucored Forte Tablet decreases the elevated blood sugar level after the meal along with the recommended diet and exercise.

Triglucored Forte 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. It should be used with caution in patients with heart diseases as it increases the risk of heart failure.
