Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a condition of high blood sugar level despite the production of sufficient amounts of insulin in your body. This happens because of insulin resistance, which means the cells become resistant to insulin and are not able to use it effectively. It can lead to symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue.

FAQ's on Glizone 30mg Tablet

How long do I need to take Glizone? Can I stop the medicine for some time?

Continue taking Glizone as long as your doctor recommends to take it. Treatment for diabetes mellitus is long-term so you may have to take it life long. However, if you have to stop it then consult with your doctor who will suggest an alternative. Do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor as it may cause blood sugar levels to rise, which could be harmful to you.

Can you take Glizone and metformin together?

Yes, Glizone can be used with metformin where sufficient blood sugar management was not possible with metformin alone. This combination of medicines can be used in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and overweight patients with poor blood sugar control.

What kind of medicine is Glizone? Is it like metformin?

Glizone belongs to thiazolidinediones class of anti-diabetic medicines. It helps control blood sugar levels by improving how your body uses a hormone called insulin. This is done by helping your cells become more sensitive to the insulin your body makes.

Can Glizone cause heart failure?

Glizone can cause fluid retention which may aggravate or speed up heart failure. The doctor usually starts with the lowest available dose and increase the dose gradually while treating patients who have at least one risk factor for heart failure (previous heart attack, coronary artery disease, elderly). Heart failure is more common when Glizone is used with insulin.

What time of day should you take Glizone?

It is usually prescribed once daily and can be taken at any time of the day but preferably at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food. You should take Glizone exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Does Glizone affect liver?

Yes, Glizone may cause an increase in liver enzymes and treatment with Glizone should be stopped if liver enzymes increase. Hence, levels of liver enzymes should be periodically checked while on treatment with Glizone. Glizone should not be prescribed to patients with liver disease.

Can Glizone cause weight gain?

Glizone commonly causes weight gain which may be dose related. The reason for this weight gain could be fat accumulation. While, in heart failure patients it could be due to water retention in the body. Therefore, it is important to monitor weight in heart failure cases.

Can Glizone cause bladder cancer?

Glizone may increase the risk of bladder cancer, though it is very rare. Immediately consult your doctor if you experience blood in your urine, pain when urinating or a sudden need to urinate, during treatment with Glizone. Glizone should not be used in patients with a prior history of bladder cancer or having bladder cancer.
