🇮🇳 Stator GM 500mg/2mg/10mg Tablet के बारे में (Hindi Summary)

उपयोग: यह दवा मेटफॉर्मिन और ग्लिमेपिराइड का संयोजन है, जिसका उपयोग टाइप 2 डायबिटीज (मधुमेह) के इलाज में किया जाता है। यह रक्त शर्करा को नियंत्रित करने में मदद करती है जब अकेले मेटफॉर्मिन या ग्लिमेपिराइड से पर्याप्त नियंत्रण नहीं हो पाता। यह लीवर में ग्लूकोज उत्पादन को कम करती है और अग्न्याशय से इंसुलिन के स्राव को बढ़ाती है। इसे भोजन के साथ लेना चाहिए।

साइड इफेक्ट्स: आम दुष्प्रभावों में कम रक्त शर्करा (हाइपोग्लाइसीमिया), मतली, दस्त, पेट की गड़बड़ी और स्वाद में बदलाव शामिल हैं। गंभीर दुष्प्रभाव दुर्लभ हैं लेकिन तत्काल चिकित्सा की आवश्यकता हो सकती है, जैसे लैक्टिक एसिडोसिस, गंभीर हाइपोग्लाइसीमिया, और एलर्जी प्रतिक्रियाएं। यदि आपको तेजी से सांस लेने, मांसपेशियों में दर्द, अत्यधिक थकान, या चेहरे, होंठ या गले में सूजन का अनुभव हो, तो तुरंत डॉक्टर से संपर्क करें।

सुरक्षा सलाह: इस दवा को अपने डॉक्टर के निर्देशानुसार ही लें। खुराक को स्वयं न बदलें या दवा बंद न करें। इसे हमेशा भोजन के साथ लें ताकि पेट की गड़बड़ी और कम रक्त शर्करा का खतरा कम हो। नियमित रूप से अपने रक्त शर्करा की जांच करें। कम रक्त शर्करा के लिए तुरंत काम करने वाली शर्करा (जैसे ग्लूकोज टैबलेट) अपने पास रखें। शराब से बचें क्योंकि इससे लैक्टिक एसिडोसिस और हाइपोग्लाइसीमिया का खतरा बढ़ सकता है। अपने डॉक्टर को अन्य सभी दवाओं के बारे में बताएं। यदि आपको किडनी या लीवर की समस्या है, या सर्जरी होने वाली है, तो डॉक्टर को सूचित करें।

🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionMetformin is slowly and incompletely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, with bioavailability of about 50-60%. Glimepiride is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration. Food may slightly delay the absorption of glimepiride but does not significantly affect the extent of absorption.

DistributionMetformin is widely distributed in body tissues and is not bound to plasma proteins. Glimepiride is highly protein-bound (>99%) and has a volume of distribution of approximately 8.8 L.

Protein BindingMetformin is negligibly bound to plasma proteins. Glimepiride is greater than 99% bound to plasma proteins, primarily albumin.

MetabolismMetformin is not metabolized in the liver and is excreted unchanged in the urine. Glimepiride is extensively metabolized in the liver by cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) to a cyclohexyl hydroxyl methyl derivative (M1), which has some hypoglycemic activity.

Half-LifeThe elimination half-life of metformin is approximately 6.2 hours. The elimination half-life of glimepiride is approximately 5-8 hours.

ExcretionMetformin is excreted unchanged in the urine by active tubular secretion and glomerular filtration. Glimepiride metabolites are excreted in urine (about 60%) and feces (about 40%).

BioavailabilityMetformin has an absolute bioavailability of approximately 50-60%. Glimepiride has a bioavailability of approximately 100%.

Onset of ActionMetformin's glucose-lowering effect may take several days to weeks to become fully apparent. Glimepiride's effect on insulin secretion begins within 1-2 hours after oral administration.

Peak Plasma TimeMetformin reaches peak plasma concentrations in about 2.5 hours (range 1-3 hours) after oral administration. Glimepiride reaches peak plasma concentrations in about 2.5 hours (range 1-3 hours).

Duration of ActionThe glucose-lowering effect of metformin lasts for approximately 24 hours with immediate-release formulations. Glimepiride's effect lasts for approximately 24 hours, allowing once-daily dosing.

How It Works

This medicine combines two oral antidiabetic agents with complementary mechanisms. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, reduces intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, stimulates insulin release from pancreatic beta cells by binding to ATP-sensitive potassium channels, leading to membrane depolarization and calcium influx. The combined effect lowers blood glucose levels through both insulin-dependent and insulin-independent pathways.

Mechanism Steps

1

Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production: Metformin inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis in the liver, leading to decreased glucose release into the bloodstream.

2

Metformin improves insulin sensitivity: Metformin enhances peripheral glucose uptake and utilization in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, improving insulin sensitivity.

3

Glimepiride stimulates insulin secretion: Glimepiride binds to ATP-sensitive potassium channels on pancreatic beta cells, causing depolarization and calcium influx, which triggers insulin release.

4

Combined glucose lowering: The dual action reduces both fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels, improving overall glycemic control.

Dosage Information

Adult Dosage	The usual starting dose of this medicine is one tablet taken once daily with a meal, typically with breakfast. The dose may be adjusted by your doctor based on your blood sugar levels and tolerance. The maximum recommended dose is generally one tablet twice daily, but this must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on indication, age, weight, renal and hepatic function. Do not self-adjust the dose. Always follow your doctor's prescription.
Pediatric Dosage	Pediatric dosing is not established from available information. Consult a pediatrician.
Elderly Dosage	Elderly patients (above 65 years) may be more sensitive to the effects of this medicine, especially the risk of hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis. The dose should be carefully adjusted by a clinician based on renal function and overall health. Regular monitoring of blood glucose and renal function is recommended.
Renal Impairment	Metformin is contraindicated in severe renal impairment (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m²). In mild to moderate renal impairment, dose adjustment or discontinuation may be necessary. Glimepiride should be used with caution; starting dose should be low and titrated slowly. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.
Hepatic Impairment	Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment. Metformin may increase the risk of lactic acidosis, and glimepiride may cause hypoglycemia. Dose adjustment may be needed. Consult your doctor.
Maximum Daily Dose	The maximum daily dose of this combination is generally one tablet twice daily (i.e., Metformin 1000 mg and Glimepiride 4 mg per day). However, the exact maximum dose must be determined by a qualified clinician based on individual patient factors.
