Description
Product Introduction:
Vinglyn M 500 Tablet is a combination medication that helps control high blood sugar levels in individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines Vildagliptin (50mg), a DPP-4 inhibitor, and Metformin (500mg), a Biguanide, to effectively manage blood sugar. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Vinglyn M 500 Tablet works by improving the body’s response to insulin and reducing the production of excess glucose by the liver, helping to lower blood sugar levels.
This medication is not suitable for Type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious complication of diabetes). It should be taken alongside a healthy diet and regular physical activity as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan.
Salt Composition:
- Metformin (500mg)
- Vildagliptin (50mg)
How It Works:
- Vildagliptin: This DPP-4 inhibitor works by increasing insulin production and reducing the release of glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar) from the pancreas.
- Metformin: It helps the body utilize insulin more efficiently and reduces the liver’s production of excess glucose, particularly after meals.
Together, these two ingredients help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose production, thereby supporting better blood sugar control and reducing the risk of complications such as retinopathy (eye damage), nephropathy (kidney damage), neuropathy (nerve damage), and delayed wound healing.
Uses:
- Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Vinglyn M 500 Tablet is used to help control blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes, especially when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient.
Medicinal Benefits:
- Insulin Production: Helps the pancreas produce more insulin.
- Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Assists the body in making better use of the insulin it produces.
- Reduced Glucose Production: Reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver, helping to lower blood sugar levels after meals.
- Prevention of Diabetes Complications: By controlling blood sugar levels, this tablet helps prevent complications such as eye problems (retinopathy), kidney damage (nephropathy), nerve damage (neuropathy), and delayed wound healing.
How to Use:
- Swallow Vinglyn M 500 Tablet whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.
- It is recommended to take the tablet with food to minimize stomach upset.
- Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage, as it may change based on your blood sugar levels and overall condition.
Side Effects: While most side effects are mild and often go away as your body adjusts to the medication, common side effects include:
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can cause dizziness, sweating, shakiness, palpitations, and hunger.
- Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain
- Loss of appetite, headache
- Shaking or shivering
