Managing the Side Effects:

G Tase M 30/500 MG Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient primarily works by lowering glucose production in the liver and reducing glucose absorption in the gut. It helps improve insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues by activating a protein called AMPactivated protein kinase (AMPK), regulating cellular energy metabolism and glucose uptake.
Pioglitazone (30 mg): Pioglitazone is a selective agonist of a receptor called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). It increases insulin sensitivity in fat tissue, skeletal muscle, and the liver, leading to improved glucose use and reduced insulin resistance.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking G Tase M 30/500 MG Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you're breastfeeding, it's important to discuss this with your doctor before starting G Tase M 30/500 MG Tablet 10.

Using Machines & Driving

It is not established if G Tase M 30/500 MG Tablet 10 affects your ability to operate machinery or drive. However, as each person responds differently to medication, it's wise to see how you react to this medicine before doing these activities.

Drug-Drug Interactions

G Tase M 30/500 MG Tablet 10 interacts with the following medicines:

Cationic Medicines: Certain cationic medicines, such as amiloride, digoxin, and trimethoprim, can reduce the elimination of metformin from your body, which could increase the risk of lactic acidosis.
Insulin and Sulfonylureas: Pioglitazone in G Tase M 30/500 MG Tablet 10 can enhance the glucose-lowering effect of insulin or sulfonylureas like glimepiride and glibenclamide, which may require adjustments in their dosages.

Drug-Food Interactions

G Tase M 30/500 MG Tablet 10 does not have any known interactions with specific foods.

Drug-Disease Interactions

G Tase M 30/500 MG Tablet 10 interacts with the following diseases:

Renal Impairment: Metformin, an ingredient in G Tase M 30/500 MG Tablet 10, is primarily excreted through the kidneys. Therefore, if you have poor kidney function, there is a heightened risk of lactic acidosis.
Hepatic Disease: If you have any liver problems, caution should be exercised while taking G Tase M 30/500 MG Tablet 10 as it could potentially exacerbate your condition.
Cardiac Disease: Since pioglitazone has been known to cause or worsen heart failure, it should be used cautiously if you have a history of heart disease.

Daily Dose

Your daily dose of G Tase M 30/500 MG Tablet 10 should be as directed by your doctor. This may vary according to several individual factors, including the severity of your condition and how you respond to the medicine. Always stick to your prescribed dosage and never increase it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

Accidentally taking more G Tase M 30/500 MG Tablet 10 than instructed can lead to common side effects such as stomach upset, headaches, and weight gain. If you suspect an overdose, ensure you inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you happen to forget a dose of G Tase M 30/500 MG Tablet 10, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and return to your regular schedule. It's important not to increase your dosage without discussing it with your doctor.
