G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10 is primarily utilised to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This combination medicine falls under oral anti-diabetic medicines, which are prescribed along with a controlled diet and regular exercise.

This medication also helps improve glycaemic control when either of its two active ingredients fails to achieve the target blood glucose levels when used individually. It's particularly useful for those whose blood sugar levels aren't adequately controlled by diet and exercise alone.

Before starting this medication, it's essential to consult your doctor, who will determine the appropriate dosage and frequency based on your medical history, current health status, and other ongoing medications. If you have any pre-existing conditions or are taking any other medications, inform your doctor before starting it. Also, report any side effects promptly and ensure you continue the medication for the duration as prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10 is used for the following:

Improving blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Helping to manage blood glucose levels when diet and exercise alone are insufficient.
Ensuring better glycaemic control when single-agent therapy doesn't provide the desired results.
Assisting in the decrease of intestinal glucose absorption.
Enhancing the function of insulin in your body.

Directions for Use of G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water during meals.
Avoid chewing or crushing the tablet.
Follow the dosage and timing prescribed by your doctor.
Never alter your medication regime without consulting your doctor first.

G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Side Effects of G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10

While taking G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10, you may experience several common side effects. These include:

Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
Abdominal pain
Weight gain
Low blood sugar levels

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here's how to manage some common side effects:

Hypoglycaemia: Keep some form of quick sugar handy, like fruit juice or regular soda, to swiftly manage a low blood sugar episode.
Diarrhoea: Taking G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10 with meals can help reduce this effect.

How G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10 Works?

G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients that work together to control blood glucose levels:

Glimepiride (2 mg): This sulfonylurea class medicine binds itself to specific receptors on the pancreatic beta cells. This binding results in these cells secreting more insulin, which reduces blood glucose levels. Moreover, glimepiride also enhances the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin and may help reduce glucose production in the liver.
Metformin (1000 mg): Falling under the biguanide class of medicines, metformin performs a trio of actions to control high blood sugar. It reduces glucose production in your liver, lowers glucose absorption from your intestines after meals, and improves insulin sensitivity. The increased insulin sensitivity allows your body to utilise the glucose present in your bloodstream better.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10, to understand potential risks or benefits to the mother and the baby.

Alcohol

Avoid excessive alcohol intake while taking G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10, as alcohol can increase the risk of lactic acidosis, a side effect of metformin.

Liver

If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10. This medicine may affect liver function and should be used cautiously in case of hepatic dysfunction.

Kidney

G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10 should be used cautiously in patients with kidney issues. Regular monitoring of renal function is advised during long-term therapy.

Using Machines & Driving

No specific precaution is needed regarding the use of G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10 while driving or operating machinery. However, if you experience side effects like dizziness or fatigue, it would be wise to avoid such activities until you feel better.

Allergy

Do not take G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10 if you are allergic to glimepiride, metformin, or any other ingredients in the formulation.

Children

G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10 is not recommended for use in children under 18. If a child needs this medication, always consult a doctor first.

Older Patients

Older patients taking G Fit Forte 2/500 MG Tablet 10 should do so under medical supervision, as they might be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.
