Goob-GM Tablet SR

Introduction

Goob-GM SR is a medication that combines three active ingredients: Voglibose, Metformin, and Gliclazide. It is used to manage blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Uses

Goob-GM SR is prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus, a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels resulting from insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. It helps control blood glucose levels and may prevent complications of diabetes such as kidney damage, nerve problems, and blindness.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Goob-GM SR is determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient’s individual needs and response to treatment. It is typically taken orally with meals to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Patients should follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions closely.

Mechanism of Action

Voglibose, Metformin, and Gliclazide work through different mechanisms to help manage blood sugar levels. Voglibose inhibits the breakdown of carbohydrates, Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, and Gliclazide stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas. Together, these actions help lower blood glucose levels.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Goob-GM SR may include gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Serious side effects are rare but may include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), allergic reactions, or lactic acidosis. Patients experiencing serious side effects should seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Goob-GM SR may interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungals, and cardiovascular drugs. Patients should inform their healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and herbal products they are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.

Precautions

Patients with a history of kidney or liver problems, heart disease, or allergic reactions to any of the components of Goob-GM SR should exercise caution when using this medication. Discuss existing medical conditions and potential drug interactions with the healthcare provider before starting treatment.
