Product Overview
Vilatin-M 50/500 Tablet combines two active ingredients to help manage high blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This medication assists in preventing severe complications associated with diabetes such as kidney problems, vision loss, heart attacks, and strokes.

Vilatin-M can be prescribed on its own or alongside other diabetes treatments. To achieve the best results, it should be taken consistently along with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. The exact dosage will depend on your health status, blood sugar readings, and any other medications you might be using. Taking this tablet with meals can help minimize stomach discomfort. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions and continue the medication regularly to maintain blood sugar control and reduce long-term health risks.

Possible Side Effects
Common side effects include nausea, headaches, and acid reflux. If you are taking other diabetes medications such as insulin or sulfonylureas, there is a risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). It is important to recognize the symptoms of hypoglycemia and know how to manage them promptly.

Precautions
Before starting Vilatin-M, inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of kidney, liver, or heart disease, pancreas problems, or if you consume alcohol frequently. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice prior to use. Some medications may interact with Vilatin-M, so make sure your doctor knows all the medicines you are currently taking. It is advisable to limit alcohol intake as it can affect blood sugar levels. Your doctor will monitor your kidney function and blood sugar throughout treatment.

Uses
Vilatin-M is prescribed to help control blood glucose in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, reducing the risk of complications like kidney failure, nerve damage, eye issues, and limb problems. Proper blood sugar control also lowers the chances of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. When combined with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, Vilatin-M supports a healthier and more normal life. Continued use as prescribed protects your long-term health.

Side Effects
Most side effects are temporary and mild, resolving as your body adjusts. If symptoms persist or cause concern, consult your doctor. Common side effects include trembling, headache, dizziness, nausea, acid reflux, and upper respiratory infections.

How to Use
Take Vilatin-M exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Swallow the tablet whole with food, without chewing or breaking it. Consistency in timing is important to maintain steady blood sugar control.

Mechanism of Action
Vilatin-M contains metformin and vildagliptin. Metformin decreases glucose production by the liver, slows glucose absorption in the intestines, and improves insulin sensitivity. Vildagliptin increases insulin release from the pancreas and reduces hormones that raise blood sugar, controlling both fasting and post-meal glucose levels. Together, they provide effective blood sugar regulation.

Pregnancy: Consult your doctor before use; animal studies suggest potential risks.
Breastfeeding: Use caution and seek medical advice due to limited data.
