Jalfos Met 50/1000 mg 60 tablets

Product description: The active ingredients Vildagliptin / Metformin belong to a group of medicines called "oral antidiabetics." It is used to treat adults with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent). It is resorted to when diet and exercise alone are insufficient, or when it needs to be combined with other medicines such as insulin or sulfonylureas. Type 2 diabetes occurs if the body does not produce enough insulin, or does not respond to it, or produces excess glucagon. Insulin lowers blood sugar after meals, while glucagon raises sugar levels by stimulating the liver. How Vildagliptin / Metformin works: Both substances work to regulate blood sugar levels. Vildagliptin increases insulin production and reduces glucagon secretion. Metformin helps the body use insulin more effectively. The medication has proven effective in lowering blood sugar and reducing diabetic complications. Usage instructions: The dose is determined by the doctor according to your condition. Use the medication exactly as prescribed. Consult the doctor or pharmacist if in doubt. Recommended dose: One tablet of 50/850 or 50/1000 mg twice daily. The dose is reduced in case of kidney impairment or use of sulfonylureas. It may be used alone or with other medicines to lower sugar. When and how to take Vildagliptin / Metformin: Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. Take one tablet in the morning and one in the evening with food or immediately after to reduce stomach upset. Continue with the diabetic dietary guidelines. If you are on a weight loss diet, continue it during treatment. If you overdose: Contact the doctor or pharmacist immediately. Medical supervision may be needed. Take the medication container with you when visiting the hospital. If you forget a dose: Take it with the next meal unless the next dose is close. Do not double the dose.
