It is a medicine used to treat high blood sugar levels caused by type 2 diabetes.
With this type of diabetes, the insulin produced by the pancreas cannot introduce sugar into the body’s cells, where it can function correctly.
Glafornil improves glycemic control by decreasing hepatic glucose production; it can induce weight loss.
When used alone, this drug does not cause hypoglycemia; however, it can potentiate the hypoglycemic effects of sulfonylureas and insulin.
Indications
A specialist doctor should prescribe this medicine after diagnosing the patient with type 2 diabetes.
Glafornil helps lower high blood sugar levels. Depending on the severity of the condition, it can be used in conjunction with insulin or another antidiabetic drug called Sulfonylurea.
Patients with type 2 diabetes while on Glafornil should maintain a balanced diet and acquire a daily physical exercise routine for best treatment results.
This medicine cannot be used by patients who have type 1 diabetes or are insulin-dependent because they, due to their style of condition, cannot produce insulin from the pancreas gland.
Before using Glafornil, the patient should carefully read the drug’s indications. If they have any doubts about side effects or possible unforeseen conditions, they should contact their treating doctor.
It is usually recommended to take Glafornil with the evening meal unless the treating physician advises otherwise.
This medicine should not be chopped, chewed, or diluted before consumption, as it can reduce the benefits it offers.
The patient must get used to taking medicine simultaneously every day to ensure its effectiveness and avoid losing any dose, in which case it occurs, you cannot take two doses simultaneously.
Although the affected person feels some improvement with the treatment, he cannot stop its use because he would risk regressing or eliminating the recovery unless the treating doctor indicates it.
