Description

Overview of the medicine

Condia-1 mg tablet is a novel oral antidiabetic medication used to improve glycemic control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Uses & Indications

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic agents)

Dosage

Adults

Initial dose is 1 mg once daily, adjusted based on glycemic response and tolerability. Maximum recommended dose is 4 mg daily.

Elderly

Start with a lower dose (e.g., 0.5 mg once daily) and titrate carefully, considering potential renal impairment.

Renal_impairment

Dose adjustment is required. Not recommended in severe renal impairment (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m²).

How to Take

Take orally, once daily, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew.

Mechanism of Action

Condiazol works by improving insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues and reducing hepatic glucose production, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.

Pharmacokinetics

Onset

Within 1 hour of administration.

Excretion

Excreted predominantly via the renal route (urine), with some fecal excretion.

Half life

Approximately 8-12 hours.

Absorption

Rapidly absorbed after oral administration, with peak plasma concentrations achieved within 1-2 hours.

Metabolism

Primarily metabolized in the liver, mainly via the cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzyme system.

Side Effects

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to Condiazol or any excipients.
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.
Diabetic ketoacidosis.

Drug Interactions

Sulfonylureas and Insulin

Concurrent use with sulfonylureas or insulin may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Close monitoring of blood glucose is recommended, and dose adjustment of either agent may be required.

CYP3A4 Inducers (e.g., Rifampicin, Carbamazepine)

Co-administration with strong CYP3A4 inducers may decrease plasma concentrations of Condiazol, potentially reducing its therapeutic effect. Dose adjustment may be necessary.

CYP3A4 Inhibitors (e.g., Ketoconazole, Ritonavir)

Co-administration with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase plasma concentrations of Condiazol, potentially leading to an increased risk of hypoglycemia. Dose adjustment may be necessary.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Overdose

In case of an overdose, symptomatic management and supportive care should be initiated. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. There is no specific antidote.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Not recommended during pregnancy or lactation unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant. Consult a healthcare professional.
