Galvus Met 50mg/500mg Tablet 1*15

Product Overview

Galvus Met 50mg/500mg Tablet combines two active ingredients to help manage elevated blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. By keeping glucose levels under control, this medication can help prevent complications such as kidney damage, vision loss, heart disease, and stroke.

This tablet may be used alone or alongside other treatments for diabetes. Optimal results are achieved when it is combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your condition, blood sugar readings, and other medications you are taking. Taking the tablet with meals can help lower the risk of stomach upset. For best results, take it at the same time each day and follow your doctor’s advice without missing doses. Continuing the treatment even when symptoms are not apparent ensures long-term blood sugar control and reduces the risk of complications. Lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, are important factors in managing diabetes effectively.

The most frequently reported side effects are nausea, headache, and acid reflux. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) may also occur, especially if you are using other diabetes medications like insulin or sulfonylureas, so it’s important to recognize and manage such symptoms promptly.

This medication may not be suitable for everyone. Inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney, liver, or heart problems, pancreatic disorders, or excessive alcohol intake. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare provider before starting this treatment. Other medicines can interfere with its effectiveness, so it’s important to share all current medications with your doctor to ensure safety. Avoid alcohol while on this treatment, as it may further lower blood sugar levels. Your doctor will monitor your kidney function and blood sugar throughout your treatment.

How to Use

Take this medicine as directed by your healthcare provider. Swallow the tablet whole with food, and do not chew, crush, or break it. Consistent use at the same time each day will ensure better management of blood sugar levels.

How It Works

The tablet contains two antidiabetic agents:

Metformin, which lowers glucose production in the liver, slows absorption in the intestines, and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

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

Together, these ingredients provide a comprehensive approach to controlling diabetes.
