Azaglide M Tablet
Q. What is Azaglide M XR 60mg/500mg Tablet?
Azaglide M XR 60mg/500mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Gliclazide and Metformin. This medicine is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). It improves blood glucose levels in adults when taken along with proper diet and regular exercise. Gliclazide lowers the blood glucose levels by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas.

Q. Can the use of Azaglide M XR 60mg/500mg Tablet cause hypoglycemia?

Q. Can the use of Azaglide M XR 60mg/500mg Tablet cause lactic acidosis?
Yes, the use of Azaglide M XR 60mg/500mg Tablet can lead to lactic acidosis. It is a medical emergency which is caused by increased levels of lactic acid in the blood.

It is avoided in patients with underlying kidney disease, old age patients or who take large amounts of alcohol. Symptoms of lactic acidosis may include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, tiredness, feeling of cold in arms and legs, difficulty in breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain or slow heart rate.

To avoid such problems, some researchers suggest an intake of vitamin B12 from outside sources at least once every year.
