Dolcyl 6 Mg 30 Tablets

Dolcyl 6 Mg 30 Tablets

Description:

Dolcyl 6 mg 30 tablets is an oral antidiabetic prescription medicine containing glimepiride, a sulfonylurea used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It helps control high blood sugar by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin and improving the body’s utilization of insulin. Dolcyl 6 mg is typically used as part of a comprehensive diabetes care plan that includes diet, exercise, and regular blood glucose monitoring.

Indications:

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (non–insulin-dependent diabetes) in adults.
• Used when blood glucose levels are not adequately controlled by diet, exercise, and weight reduction alone.
• May be used as monotherapy or in combination with other oral antidiabetic agents or insulin as directed by a physician.
• Helps reduce symptoms and risks associated with uncontrolled diabetes such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and long-term complications (e.g., cardiovascular, renal, and nerve damage) when used appropriately as part of overall diabetes management.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Glimepiride – 6 mg per tablet.
• Excipients: Information on inactive ingredients (e.g., fillers, binders, colorants) is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the package leaflet for the full list of excipients.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Dolcyl is an oral prescription medicine and must be taken exactly as directed by your physician.
• General dosing information for glimepiride (from reference data): the recommended starting dose is usually 1–2 mg once daily with food, typically with breakfast or the first main meal of the day.
• The dose may be adjusted by the doctor based on blood glucose response, with careful monitoring. Do not change your dose without medical advice.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water; do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise.
• Take the medicine at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels and optimal blood sugar control.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
• Use in combination with diet, regular physical activity, and routine blood glucose monitoring as part of your diabetes management plan.
• For elderly patients, those with renal or hepatic impairment, or patients at higher risk of hypoglycemia, lower starting doses and more cautious titration are usually required; follow your doctor’s instructions.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps lower and control elevated blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.
• Stimulates insulin secretion from functioning pancreatic beta cells, improving post‑meal and fasting blood sugar control.
• Supports long-term reduction in the risk of diabetes-related complications when used consistently with lifestyle measures and regular monitoring.
• Once-daily oral tablet formulation offers convenient dosing and improved treatment adherence.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Dolcyl (glimepiride) is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, diabetic ketoacidosis (with or without coma), and in patients with known hypersensitivity to glimepiride, other sulfonylureas, sulfonamides, or any component of the formulation.
• Not to be used for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis; insulin is required in such conditions.
• Use with caution in patients with renal or hepatic impairment, elderly patients, malnourished patients, or those with adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, as they are at higher risk of hypoglycemia.
• Alcohol intake may enhance the hypoglycemic effect and should be limited or avoided.
• Driving and operating machinery: Hypoglycemia can impair concentration and reaction time. Use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Drug interactions: Certain medicines (e.g., other antidiabetics, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, NSAIDs, some antibiotics, corticosteroids, diuretics) may increase or decrease the blood sugar-lowering effect of glimepiride. Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. In general, oral sulfonylureas are not recommended during pregnancy; insulin is usually preferred.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, kidney disease, hormonal disorders, severe infections, recent surgery, major trauma, or any condition that may alter blood glucose control.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• This product is a prescription antidiabetic medicine and should be used only under medical supervision.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects: Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) with symptoms such as sweating, tremor, hunger, palpitations, headache, dizziness, confusion, blurred vision, or weakness. Mild gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, or diarrhea may also occur.
• Less common side effects: Allergic skin reactions (rash, itching, redness, urticaria), photosensitivity reactions, or changes in taste.
• Rare but serious side effects: Severe hypoglycemia requiring medical attention, severe allergic reactions (angioedema, difficulty breathing), liver function disturbances, blood cell disorders (e.g., thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, hemolytic anemia) have been reported with sulfonylureas.
• Stop the medication and seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of severe hypoglycemia, serious allergic reaction, yellowing of the skin or eyes, unusual bleeding or bruising, or persistent severe abdominal pain.
• Report any unexpected or bothersome side effects to your doctor or pharmacist.
