Daiyryl Em Tablet

Adult dose

This medication is administered 1 to 2 times a day just before or with meals. The dosage may be adjusted based on each patient's current therapy, efficacy, and tolerance, requiring adequate blood sugar monitoring. Treatment is generally initiated with a low dose, and adjustments can be made considering the patient's current medications and blood sugar levels. The initial daily dose is Glimepiride/Metformin Hydrochloride 2mg/500mg.

This medication can cause severe lactic acidosis or hypoglycemia; therefore, it should be temporarily discontinued and consulted with a doctor if kidney function declines rapidly or if dehydration occurs. It should not be used in patients with impaired kidney function or liver dysfunction, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and patients with certain metabolic acidosis. Elderly patients, those in a state of malnutrition, and patients with irregular meal intake who are at high risk of hypoglycemia should be monitored closely while on this medication. Gastrointestinal disturbances (such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, etc.) may commonly occur at the beginning of treatment, but they typically improve over time. This medication can reduce vitamin B12 levels, so regular blood tests to check vitamin B12 status are recommended for long-term use. There are numerous interactions with other medications, so it is essential to inform doctors or pharmacists when starting or stopping new medications, especially those that may affect kidney function. Caution should be exercised while driving or operating machinery, as hypoglycemia may impair concentration. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should not take this medication and should consider insulin therapy instead. In the event of an overdose, immediate medical attention is required, and if hypoglycemic symptoms occur, sugar intake or emergency care should be sought. This medication's safety and efficacy in children have not been sufficiently established, so special care is needed when used in this population. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, kidney function, and blood tests should be conducted to assess therapeutic effects and monitor for side effects. In the event of sudden infections, surgery, dehydration, etc., the administration of this medication should be stopped, and consultation with a doctor is necessary.
