GFEN-XL 10 (Baclofen XL 10 Mg)

GFEN-XL 10 Tablet is an oral medication used for managing type 2 diabetes in adults. It belongs to a class of drugs known as sulfonylureas and works by helping to control blood sugar levels. By keeping glucose levels stable, it reduces the risk of complications such as kidney issues, vision loss, and nerve damage.

This medicine may be prescribed on its own or alongside other antidiabetic treatments. It should be taken on an empty stomach, preferably at the same time each day, to ensure a steady effect. Your doctor will determine the correct dose based on your condition and how you respond to the medication.

Continue using this medicine even if you feel fine or your blood sugar levels are under control. Stopping it suddenly without medical advice can cause your glucose levels to rise again, increasing your risk of serious complications like nerve issues, organ damage, or limb problems. GFEN-XL 10 Tablet should be part of a broader treatment plan that includes healthy eating, physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Common side effects include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), nausea, dizziness, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, nervousness, trembling, and gas. Be aware of signs of low blood sugar such as sweating, shakiness, or headaches, and always carry a quick sugar source like candy or juice. Alcohol can increase your risk of low blood sugar and is best avoided. Some users may notice weight gain during treatment.

You should not take this medicine if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or serious kidney or liver conditions. Let your doctor know if you have a history of heart, thyroid, or hormonal disorders. Pregnant or nursing women should consult their physician before using this medicine. Regular monitoring of blood sugar and occasional lab tests may be required to track your health while on this medication.
