Minidiab Af

Minidiab AF combines Glipizide and Metformin HCl to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It supports insulin secretion and improves how the body uses glucose, offering dual action for better glycemic control.

Key Benefits

• Effective dual therapy for type 2 diabetes

• Helps control fasting and post-meal sugar levels

• Reduces insulin resistance

• Supports long-term glycemic stability

How It Works

• Glipizide stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, improving response after meals.

• Metformin HCl decreases liver glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity in body tissues.

Together, they balance insulin activity and glucose metabolism for more stable blood sugar levels.

Dosage & Administration

Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily with meals to reduce stomach upset. Do not skip doses or change timing without medical advice.

Side Effects

Common: Diarrhea, nausea, headache, dizziness, abdominal discomfort, mild muscle pain.
Serious (rare): Signs of hypoglycemia (sweating, confusion, shakiness), or lactic acidosis (deep breathing, weakness). Seek immediate medical help if these occur.

Warnings & Precautions

• Risk of lactic acidosis—rare but serious; higher in kidney or liver impairment.

• May cause low blood sugar; regular meals and monitoring are important.

• Use with caution in G6PD deficiency (risk of hemolytic anemia).

• Avoid use in severe renal or hepatic dysfunction without doctor’s supervision.

Drug Interactions

• Glipizide: May interact with NSAIDs, azole antifungals, beta-blockers, or blood thinners.

• Metformin: Caution with furosemide, nifedipine, and cationic drugs (e.g., digoxin, quinidine, ranitidine). Always inform your doctor about all medicines and supplements in use.

When Not to Use

Avoid if allergic to Glipizide, Metformin, or any tablet component.
