Galvus Met 50mg/1000mg Tablet 1*15

Product Overview

Galvus Met 50mg/1000mg Tablet combines two medicines that help control high blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. By managing blood glucose effectively, this treatment can lower the risk of severe complications like kidney damage, vision problems, heart attacks, and strokes.

This medication may be prescribed alone or alongside other diabetes treatments. It works best when paired with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. The dosage prescribed will depend on your medical condition, blood sugar levels, and other medications you may be taking. Taking the tablet with meals can help reduce the chance of an upset stomach. It’s important to take the medicine consistently at the same time each day and only stop when instructed by your healthcare provider. Proper use helps control blood sugar and prevents future health issues.

Some common side effects include nausea, headache, and acid reflux. If you are also taking other diabetes medications such as insulin or sulfonylureas, you may experience low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), so knowing how to recognize and respond to these symptoms is essential.

This medicine may not be appropriate for everyone. Inform your doctor if you have any kidney, liver, or heart issues, pancreas problems, or if you consume alcohol regularly. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before starting this treatment. Additionally, certain other medications may interfere with its effects, so always share a complete list of your current medicines with your doctor. Avoiding alcohol is advisable, as it can lower blood sugar levels. Your doctor will monitor your kidney function and blood glucose during treatment.

How It Works

This tablet contains two antidiabetic agents:

Metformin, which lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption in the intestines, and enhances the body’s response to insulin.

Vildagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor that boosts insulin release and reduces hormones that elevate blood sugar, helping to regulate both fasting and post-meal glucose levels.

Together, these medicines offer better control of blood sugar.
