About Glucofit 40mg Capsule
Glucofit 40mg Capsule belongs to the class of drugs called ''oral hypoglycemic'' used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise alone cannot control their blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong disorder that affects the way our body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or the insulin produced cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, so it is also known as adult-onset diabetes.
Glucofit 40mg Capsule contains gliclazide. It works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. It stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas and decreases blood sugar levels. Glucofit 40mg Capsule prevents the blood glucose level from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your blood sugar level under control.
Glucofit 40mg Capsule should be taken in the dose and duration your doctor advises. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as stomach ache or indigestion, feeling sick (nausea), vomiting (diarrhoea), and constipation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, please consult your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Do not stop taking Glucofit 40mg Capsule on your own since it may cause a rise in your blood sugar levels leading to other health issues like blindness, kidney damage, and loss of limbs. Before starting Glucofit 40mg Capsule, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant or breastfeeding. And also, tell the doctor if you have/had any medical history of heart, liver, and kidney diseases, glucose-6- phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency (abnormality of red blood cells), and haemolytic anaemia. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Glucofit 40mg Capsule; it might increase the side effects (hypoglycemia). Inform your doctor about all the medicine you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects. Glucofit 40mg Capsule works best when coupled with a healthy lifestyle like losing weight if you are overweight (BMI >25), eating fewer calories (low fat and sugary food), and being more physically active (at least 150 min of activity every week).
