Afdiex 5 mg Tablet

Afdiex 5 mg Tablet is an oral diabetes medicine that contains 5 mg of glibenclamide in each tablet. It belongs to the sulfonylurea class, which helps lower blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Afdiex 5 mg Tablet is used along with diet, exercise, and regular blood sugar monitoring to improve glucose control. It is not used to treat type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

How it works: Glibenclamide in Afdiex 5 mg Tablet works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps move sugar from the blood into the body’s cells. As a swallowed tablet, it begins working after it is absorbed through the digestive system and is meant to be taken regularly as prescribed.

Afdiex 5 mg Tablet is a higher-strength glibenclamide tablet, so it is generally suited to adults whose doctor has decided that this amount is appropriate. Because each tablet contains 5 mg, it may be easier for some patients to take fewer tablets, but it also carries a greater risk of low blood sugar if taken when not needed. A doctor may choose Afdiex 5 mg Tablet when a lower glibenclamide strength is not enough or when a specific daily dose is being targeted.

• Type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Blood sugar control with diet and exercise

• Take it with food or just before a meal to reduce the chance of low blood sugar.

Each Afdiex 5 mg Tablet provides 5 mg of glibenclamide. The dose is usually taken once daily or divided into 1 to 2 doses per day, but the exact schedule depends on your blood sugar response and your doctor’s instructions. Your prescriber decides the dose, and the total daily amount should not be increased on your own.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
