Daonil Tab NR Sachet

Description

Daonil Tablet is used to treat type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong condition affecting how your body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or if the insulin is produced, it cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Thus, the blood glucose level and symptoms include frequent urination, increased thirst and hunger.

Daonil Tablet contains Glibenclamide, which acts by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. It stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas and decreases blood sugar levels. In a nutshell, it prevents blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your diabetes under control. Daonil Tablet shows optimum effects when taken along with healthy lifestyle changes like weight loss, regular exercise, a healthy diet, etc.

Daonil Tablet should be taken with food to avoid an upset stomach. Daonil Tablet should be taken at the same time of day each time for the best results. Your doctor will decide what dose should be taken for better advice, and it can change timely depending on your condition. A common side effect of Daonil Tablet is low blood glucose levels, characterised by dizziness, sweating, palpitations, hunger pangs, dry mouth, skin etc. To avoid hypoglycaemia, you should not miss meals and should carry some form of sugar along with you. Other side effects include taste change, nausea, diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache, and upper respiratory symptoms.

Daonil Tablet should not be stopped even if you feel better without consulting your doctor, as the sugar levels change. If you stop taking Daonil Tablet abruptly, it may increase your sugar levels, which could further increase the risk of eyesight loss (retinopathy), kidney (nephropathy) and nerve damage (neuropathy). Daonil Tablet should not be taken if you have severe kidney or liver disease or have a diabetic coma. Please inform your doctor if you have had liver, kidney or heart disease, are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, are breastfeeding, or have a blood disease called G6PD-deficiency anaemia or heart disease. Mental alertness may be altered due to low or high blood sugar when Daonil Tablet is not taken regularly, which may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery.
