Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet belongs to a class of antidiabetic called 'sulfonylureas' used to lower raised blood sugar levels in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus - NIDDM). Type 2 diabetes develops if the body does not produce enough insulin or when your body's insulin does not work as well as it should. Insulin is a substance that helps to lower the level of sugar in your blood, especially after meals.

The Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet contains Glimepiride which acts on insulin-secreting cells called beta cells inside the pancreas and activates calcium channels on cells which lets insulin pass out of the cell. This insulin then makes each cell in the body take up glucose and utilize it, thus lowering raised blood glucose. Therefore, it prevents symptoms of type 2 diabetes.

Take Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. Some people may experience an allergic reaction (skin rash, hives & sensitivity to sun rays), liver dysfunction (jaundice, bile duct blockage, and hepatitis), seizures, coma & low glucose levels. Most of these side effects of Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet should not be stopped even if you feel better without consulting your doctor as the sugar level keeps changing. If you stop taking Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet abruptly, it may increase your sugar levels which could further increase the risk of eyesight loss (retinopathy), kidney (nephropathy) and nerve damage (neuropathy). Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet should not be taken if you have type 1 diabetes mellitus or severe kidney or liver disease. Please inform your doctor if you have any heart disease or plan to get pregnant or breastfeed.

Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet is used in people with type 2 diabetes to minimize elevated blood sugar levels with a balanced diet and exercise in combination. Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet can be combined with insulin or other forms of oral antidiabetic medication. Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet decreases blood sugar levels in a diabetic patient by increasing the production and secretion of insulin from the pancreas beta cells. Thus, it helps in controlling increased blood sugar levels after the meal.

Before taking Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet, inform your doctor if you are healing from injury, had or going to have surgery, have fever infections or other sources of stress, then contact your doctor as it might be appropriate to adjust care temporarily. If you have a serious kidney/liver disease, breastfeeding or pregnant, consult the doctor before using Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet. Do not take Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet if you are allergic to sulpha drugs, glimepiride, or any other antidiabetic medicines or have a deficiency of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). A heart disease patient should consult a doctor before taking the Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet as it may worsen the heart disease's current conditions. Do not take Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet with oral contraceptives as it may increase blood sugar levels. On the other hand, taking Glimigen-M4 Forte Tablet with pain killers like aspirin or ibuprofen can lower your blood sugar.
