Instructions for use Diabeton MV

Healing effect	The drug stimulates the activity of the pancreas to produce enzymatic secretions and insulin. This helps lower blood sugar levels. The interval between the production of insulin and the intake of food is shortened. The drug restores the early peak of insulin secretion in response to glucose intake, and also enhances the second phase of insulin production. This keeps blood sugar levels in check. The drug is excreted from the body by the kidneys and liver.
When to take	The drug is prescribed to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus if they cannot cope with the disease with the help of diet and exercise.
Contraindications for admission	Age under 18. Ketoacidosis or diabetic coma. Serious liver and kidney damage. Treat with Miconazole, Phenylbutazone or Danazol.

Features of taking Diabeton

Taking Diabeton CF and alcohol

During treatment with the drug Diabeton MV, it is necessary to completely abandon the use of alcoholic beverages. If this is not done, then a person's probability of developing hypoglycemia increases several times. In addition, the risk of liver toxicity and other severe complications increases. For many diabetic patients, this becomes a real problem. After all, Diabeton MV is prescribed for a long time, and sometimes it has to be taken throughout life.

Diabetone or Metformin?

In addition to Diabeton, the doctor may prescribe other medicines to the patient, for example, Metformin. It is an effective drug for lowering blood sugar. Metformin also prevents the development of diabetes complications, which can be very serious. However, Metformin is not used in conjunction with Diabeton. Therefore, you will need to opt for one of the drugs. In addition to Metformin, its analogue, Galvus Met, can be prescribed, but it is a combined drug.

Treatment of diabetes mellitus is a serious task that the patient must solve together with the doctor.

Diabeton MV and Glucophage - is simultaneous administration possible?

Treatment options

Before embarking on the implementation of therapy with sugar-burning drugs, you need to try to control blood glucose levels using dietary food. If this is not enough, then the doctor will prescribe treatment, which may be based on taking the drug Diabeton. At the same time, you cannot refuse the diet. Not a single drug, even the most expensive drug, will allow you to achieve recovery if you do not start leading a healthy lifestyle. Medication and diet are mutually supportive.

What drugs can replace Diabeton MV?

If, for some reason, the replacement of the drug Diabeton MV is required, then the doctor should be engaged in the selection of a new drug. It is possible that he will recommend the patient to take the drug Metformin, Glukofazh, Galvus Met, etc. However, when switching from one drug to another, it is important to take into account many points: the cost of the drug, its effectiveness, possible complications, etc.

At the same time, the patient should always remember that without diet control of the disease is impossible. Many people mistakenly believe that taking expensive drugs allows them to abandon the principles of nutritional therapy. This is not true. The disease will not recede, but will progress. As a result, the state of health will worsen even more.

What to choose: Gliclazide or Diabeton?

Diabeton MV is the trade name of the drug, and gliclazide is its main active ingredient. Diabeton is produced in France, so it can cost 2 times more than its domestic counterparts. However, the basis in them will be the same.

Gliclazide MV is a long-acting drug for lowering blood sugar levels. It also needs to be taken once a day. However, it costs less than Diabeton MV. Therefore, the decisive point in the choice of a medicine is the patient's financial capabilities.

Patient reviews

Negative reviews are associated with long-term consequences that arise as a result of taking the drug. Some patients indicate that after 5-8 years from the start of treatment, Diabeton simply stops working. If you do not start insulin therapy, then complications of diabetes mellitus develop in the form of loss of vision, kidney disease, gangrene of the legs, etc.
