About RGM Tablet 10's

RGM Tablet 10's belongs to a class of medicines called antidiabetic drugs used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that affects the way our body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or the insulin produced is unable to perform its function in the body (insulin resistance).

RGM Tablet 10's is a combination of three antidiabetic drugs, namely: Glibenclamide, Metformin, and Rosiglitazone. Glibenclamide works by stimulating beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Thus, insulin helps to remove sugar from the blood. Metformin works by reducing the sugar production by cells in the liver and delays sugar absorption from the intestines. Rosiglitazone works by increasing the sensitivity of liver, muscle, and fat cells to insulin and enables cells to remove glucose from blood more effectively. Thereby, RGM Tablet 10's helps to control blood sugar levels.

Take RGM Tablet 10's as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take RGM Tablet 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, or low blood sugar. Most of these side effects of RGM Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to RGM Tablet 10's or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. RGM Tablet 10's is not recommended for children below 18 years of age. Avoid breastfeeding while taking RGM Tablet 10's as it may be excreted in human milk. If you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy, please inform your doctor before taking RGM Tablet 10's as it may harm an unborn baby. RGM Tablet 10's should be used with caution in elderly patients. Avoid alcohol consumption with RGM Tablet 10's as it may increase the risk of lactic acidosis (accumulation of lactic acid in the body). Drive only if you are alert after taking RGM Tablet 10's.

Uses of RGM Tablet 10's

Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Medicinal Benefits

RGM Tablet 10's contains three antidiabetic drugs (Glibenclamide, Metformin, and Rosiglitazone) used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Glibenclamide stimulates cells in the pancreas that produce insulin which helps to remove sugar from the blood. Metformin reduces sugar production by cells in the liver and delays sugar absorption from the intestines. Also, it increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin which enables these cells to remove sugar more effectively from the blood. Rosiglitazone increases the sensitivity of liver, muscle, and fat cells to insulin and enables cells to remove glucose from blood more effectively. Also, it decreases the amount of glucose produced by the liver and preserves the functioning of beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Thereby, RGM Tablet 10's helps to control blood sugar levels.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Type 2 diabetes: It is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that keeps the body away from properly utilizing insulin. Hence, people affected with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or there is resistance to the action of insulin. Middle-aged or older are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, so it is also known as adult-onset diabetes. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include frequent urination at night, increased thirst, slow wound healing, increased hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision. In some cases, there may be weight gain while in rare cases weight loss may be observed. The complication of type 2 diabetes also includes nerve problems, kidney problems, the damaged retina of eyes or blindness, loss of limbs, sexual dysfunction, and increase the chance of heart attack or stroke.
