1. What does Glyciphage- G1 Tablet do exactly?
Answer- People with type 2 diabetes are not able to make enough insulin or respond
normally to the insulin made by their bodies. Glyciphage-G1 acts in ways to reduce the
increased levels of sugar in blood. The tablet decreases glucose production from the
liver and decreases absorption of glucose from the intestine after taking food. This helps
improve the uptake of glucose from the blood.
2. Can I stop Glyciphage- G1 if I start feeling improvement in my condition?
Answer- No, you should never stop taking the Glyciphage-G1 without consulting your
doctor. Abruptly stopping the medicine can result in a sudden rise in blood glucose
levels and cause further harm to the kidney and other organs.
3. Will the Glyciphage-G1 tablet help to reduce weight?
Answer- The Glyciphage- G1 does not reduce weight. It neither increases nor
decreases the weight. You should continue to exercise and follow your diet while you
are on this medicine.

Answer- If you forget to take Glyciphage-G1 mg, do NOT take a double dose to make
up for your forgotten dose. Taking overdose might cause your sugar level to fall down
rapidly. Try to take the next dose at the usual time.
5. Can I take the medicine in pregnancy?
Answer- Please consult the doctor before using it during pregnancy or if you are
planning a pregnancy. In pregnancy-related diabetes, insulin is preferred over other oral
blood-glucose-lowering medicines. The doctor can suggests some other alternative.
