Description
Agivog 0.2 Tablet is a medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus by helping control high blood sugar levels after meals. It is typically prescribed when other diabetes medications, along with a restricted diet, are unable to effectively control elevated blood sugar. This medicine is to be taken just before meals, and your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and frequency based on your specific needs. It is important not to suddenly stop taking Agivog without consulting your doctor, as this may cause an increase in blood sugar levels, leading to potential complications such as kidney damage or blindness. In addition to medication, a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are important components of your treatment plan. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential while using this medicine.
