FAQs

Glide Tablet works by increasing insulin production by stimulating insulin secretion from the beta cells of the pancreas, thereby reduces high blood glucose (sugar) levels.

Glide Tablet may sometimes lower the blood glucose levels more than normal, leading to hypoglycemia. Regularly monitor your blood sugar levels while taking Glide Tablet . Hypoglycemia symptoms include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, shakiness, faintness, confusion, and visual disturbances.

Hypoglycaemia may occur following prolonged or severe exercise, during illness, alcohol consumption, low food intake, or when Glide Tablet is taken along with other antidiabetic medicines.

Maintain a healthy diet by regular intake of carbohydrates such as bread and products containing starch and sugar. Eat your meals regularly, and do not exercise heavily for a longer duration with an empty stomach. Try to keep sugar candies and when you feel symptoms of low blood sugar like excessive hunger, sweating, feeling tired, dizziness, feeling hungry, feeling shaky, and fast heartbeat, immediately take it. This will increase the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood and you will feel normal.

Please do not stop taking Glide Tablet without consulting your doctor as it may cause an increase in blood glucose levels. Continue taking Glide Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it to you. Do not be reluctant to speak with your doctor if you experience any difficulty while taking Glide Tablet .

If you are going to have a major operation or have recently had a serious infection or illness; in such cases, diabetic control may be lost. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns regarding this; your doctor may ask you to temporarily take insulin instead of Glide Tablet to control blood glucose levels.

Glide Tablet might sometimes affect laboratory test results. Inform the person performing the tests that you are taking Glide Tablet .

Do not use Glide Tablet if you have a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (too much acids in the blood) and ever have had an allergic reaction to glipizide.

GLIPIZIDE-5MGType 2 diabetes mellitus
Severe
How does the disease interact with Glide Tablet:
Some sulfonylurea medications should not be used to treat diabetic ketoacidosis in individuals who are in or out of the coma. Additionally, these medications shouldn't be the only form of treatment for those with type I diabetes

How to manage the interaction:
Sulfonylureas are contraindicated for the treatment of patients with diabetic ketoacidosis, with or without coma.
GLIPIZIDE-5MGOther disorders of kidney and ureter, not elsewhere classified
Severe
How does the disease interact with Glide Tablet:
Sulfonylureas are broken down in the liver, and their metabolites—some of which have therapeutic potential are eliminated through the urine and feces. Sulfonylureas may cause increased blood drug concentrations in patients with impaired liver and/or renal function, increasing the risk of severe hypoglycemia episodes brought on by these medications. Hepatic impairment may also result in a reduction in gluconeogenic ability, raising the risk even higher. Patients with hepatic and/or renal illness should receive sulfonylurea therapy with caution. It could be necessary to use lower doses and space out dosage adjustments more often. Due to decreased metabolism and/or medication excretion, these patients may experience extended hypoglycemia if it develops while they are receiving therapy

How to manage the interaction:
In patients with impaired kidney function, sulfonylureas may be exposed to higher serum drug concentrations leading to low blood sugar episodes. Therapy with sulfonylureas should be administered cautiously in patients with kidney disease.
GLIPIZIDE-5MGSpecial screening examination for other diseases and disorders
Severe
How does the disease interact with Glide Tablet:
Compared to diet alone or diet plus insulin, the use of oral hypoglycemic medicines may be linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular mortality

How to manage the interaction:
The use of oral hypoglycemic agents may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality.
