Imeglimin

Uses

Imeglimin is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

How it Works

Imeglimin works by stimulating insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, which helps lower blood sugar levels.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Imeglimin include hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level) and constipation.

Expert Advice

  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) may occur when taken with other antidiabetic medications, alcohol, or by delaying or skipping a meal.
  • Check your blood sugar levels and consume a snack or sugar source for immediate relief.
  • If you experience unusual thirst, increased urination, and fatigue, inform your doctor. These may indicate elevated blood sugar levels, and your dosage may require adjustment.
  • Regularly monitor your blood sugar while taking this medication.
  • Inform your doctor immediately if you experience rapid or deep breathing, muscle pain, fatigue, or drowsiness.
  • Lifestyle changes such as adopting a low-sugar diet, exercising, losing weight, avoiding smoking, and reducing alcohol intake may enhance the effectiveness of this medication.

Other Combinations

Frequently asked questions

Diabetes is a condition that alters blood glucose levels and can lead to serious health issues if uncontrolled. However, with lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and medications, individuals can manage their condition effectively and maintain a healthy life.
Yes, dizziness is a potential side effect of Imeglimin. If you experience dizziness, sit or lie down until it passes, and keep sugary snacks or juice on hand when traveling.
Yes, uncontrolled diabetes can result in kidney failure through a condition known as diabetic nephropathy, a leading cause of kidney failure in diabetics. Preventive measures include managing diabetes, making dietary changes, regularly monitoring blood sugar levels, and adhering to prescribed medications.
Yes, Imeglimin tablets are safe when used as prescribed by a doctor, although side effects may occur. For optimal results, take them at the correct dose and at the same time each day.
The typical adult dosage of imeglimin hydrochloride is 1000 mg, taken orally twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.
No, Imeglimin is not suitable for treating type 1 diabetes.
To alleviate constipation, increase dietary fiber (fruits and vegetables), drink 8-10 glasses of water daily, and stay active. Consider a stool softener with a doctor's prescription if needed, and consult your doctor if bowel movements do not occur for 2-3 days.
Imeglimin may be eliminated more slowly in patients with kidney disease due to impaired kidney function. It is important to inform your doctor if you have kidney disease before starting treatment.
Yes, individuals with diabetes should include proteins in their diet, as they provide essential nutrients and energy. Proteins metabolize into glucose more slowly than carbohydrates, helping to manage blood sugar levels. Consuming 2-3 teaspoons of protein in evening snacks can help prevent hypoglycemia.
No, artificial sweeteners can pose health risks due to their chemical composition and may cause side effects. It is advisable to limit or avoid their use.
No, do not stop taking Imeglimin without consulting your doctor first, as sudden discontinuation may worsen your diabetes. Discuss any bothersome symptoms or lack of improvement with your doctor, who may recommend alternative treatments.
Avoid foods high in saturated and trans fats; instead, choose healthier fats from fish and nuts. Monitor carbohydrate intake, as it directly impacts blood sugar levels.
