    Frequently asked Questions about Melmet

    Question almost 6 years ago

    How does Melmet work?

    Dr. Rahul Poddar MBBS, DNB, MBBS, DNB , General Surgery

    Melmet works by decreasing the hepatic glucose production. It also works to lower blood sugar by increasing your sensitivity to insulin and decreasing the amount of glucose that is absorbed from the food you eat.

    Question over 5 years ago

    Does Melmet cause sweating?

    Dr. Joydeep Sarkar MBBS , Internal Medicine

    Yes, Melmet can cause night sweat, the exact mechanism of sweating is not known. But some research suggests that Melmet causes hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) especially at night which can cause night sweats. Need to monitor your blood glucose level regularly, and talk to your doctor as your dose of Melmet may need to be adjusted.

    Question over 5 years ago

    How does Melmet increase lactic acidosis?

    Dr. Manoj Meena MBBS , General Physician

    Lactic acidosis associated with Melmet treatment is a rare but fatal adverse effect. Lactic acidosis appears to result from biguanide interference causing an increase in production and decrease in clearance of lactate leading to higher cellular lactate levels. A decrease in pyruvate carboxylase activity, the rate-limiting enzyme in the formation of glucose from lactate, can also decrease hepatic metabolism of lactate. leading to increasing lactic acidosis. Signs and symptoms of Melmet induced lactic acidosis are nonspecific and include anorexia, nausea, vomiting, altered level of consciousness, hyperpnoea, abdominal pain, and thirst. 

    Question over 5 years ago

    Can I take Melmet with a beta-blocker?

    Dr. Sameer Awadhiya MBBS , Pediatrics

    Yes, you can take Melmet with a beta-blocker. People with diabetes tend to develop heart disease or stroke at an earlier age than the general population. One reason for this is that high glucose levels increase your risk of high blood pressure (hypertension). No harmful interactions are seen between them. However, a recent study suggests that beta-blockers can decrease the plasma level of Melmet and long-term use can increase lactic acid and uric acid in the blood.

    Question over 5 years ago

    Does Melmet cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)?

    Dr. Ramraj MBBS , Other

    Yes, Melmet can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). However, this can also occur if you delay or miss a meal, drink alcohol, exercise more than usual, can't eat due to stomach upset, and taking other antidiabetic medicine with metformin. So, regular monitoring of blood glucose level is needed and be cautious of symptoms of hypoglycemia, always keep glucose-rich food with you.
