Vildapride-M 50 mg/500 mg

Description

Vildapride M 500mg/50mg Tablet is a combination of two active ingredients, Metformin and Vildagliptin, that work together to control high blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. By managing blood glucose effectively, this medication helps reduce the risk of serious complications of diabetes, including kidney damage, blindness, and heart attacks or strokes.

Key Ingredients

• Metformin (500mg): Works by reducing glucose production in the liver and increasing insulin sensitivity, helping the body use glucose more effectively.
• Vildagliptin (50mg): A DPP-4 inhibitor that enhances insulin release from the pancreas and reduces glucose production by the liver, helping lower blood sugar levels.

How Vildapride M Tablet Works

Vildapride M Tablet combines two diabetes medications that act in different ways to control blood glucose levels:

1. Metformin lowers blood sugar by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
2. Vildagliptin works by increasing insulin production after meals and suppressing excess glucose release from the liver.

Together, these two drugs effectively help manage blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of long-term complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes, such as kidney damage, nerve damage, and eye problems.

Uses of Vildapride M Tablet

• Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Vildapride M is used to help control blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes, particularly when diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes alone are insufficient to control blood sugar levels.

Benefits of Vildapride M Tablet

• Blood Sugar Control: By combining two antidiabetic agents, Vildapride M helps lower blood sugar effectively and maintain glucose levels within a normal range.
• Prevents Diabetes Complications: Regular use reduces the risk of complications such as kidney damage, nerve damage, eye problems, and heart disease.
• Improves Insulin Sensitivity: The combination of Metformin and Vildagliptin improves insulin sensitivity and enhances glucose uptake by the cells, helping to maintain steady blood sugar levels.
• Prevents Long-Term Health Risks: Proper blood sugar control can significantly reduce the chances of diabetes-related complications like heart attack and stroke.

Side Effects of Vildapride M Tablet

While most side effects are mild and temporary, some common side effects may occur:

• Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar): Especially if combined with other diabetes medications like insulin or sulfonylureas.
• Gastrointestinal Issues: Nausea, diarrhea, upset stomach, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
• Other Common Side Effects:
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Trembling or shaking
  • Weakness
  • Increased sweating
  • Decreased appetite

If any side effects are severe or persistent, it is important to consult your doctor.

How to Use Vildapride M Tablet

• Dosage: Take the medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet. Swallow it whole with food to minimize the risk of stomach upset.
• Timing: It is usually taken with meals, which helps reduce the chances of gastrointestinal issues.
• Regular Monitoring: Your doctor may monitor your blood sugar levels regularly to adjust the dose as necessary for optimal control of diabetes.

Safety Information

• Follow your doctor’s advice on diet, exercise, and regular blood glucose monitoring. This is crucial for managing your diabetes effectively.
• Do not stop the medication unless advised by your doctor, as discontinuing the drug may lead to uncontrolled blood sugar levels and increased risk of complications.
