Gluvilda M + 1000 Tablet SR

Product Overview – Gluvilda M + 1000 Tablet SR

Gluvilda M + 1000 Tablet SR is a combination medication designed to help manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. By effectively lowering elevated blood sugar levels, this medicine plays a crucial role in reducing the risk of complications such as kidney failure, vision loss, nerve issues, and cardiovascular events like heart attacks or strokes.

It can be used on its own or alongside other antidiabetic treatments, depending on your individual health condition and blood sugar control needs. For best results, it should always be taken as part of a broader treatment plan, which includes regular physical activity and a balanced diet.

Dosage and Administration

This tablet should be taken with meals to help minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. It’s important to take it at the same time every day to maintain consistent drug levels in your body. The dosage will be tailored by your healthcare provider based on your blood sugar readings and other medications you might be using.

Do not stop taking this medicine without your doctor’s advice, even if your blood sugar levels improve, as doing so can increase your risk of long-term complications.

How It Works

Gluvilda M + 1000 contains two active ingredients:

• Metformin: A biguanide that lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestine, and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

• Vildagliptin: A DPP-4 inhibitor that enhances insulin release and reduces glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar), especially after meals.

Together, they help regulate blood sugar throughout the day, both before and after meals.

Benefits

• Improved blood sugar control

• Prevention of diabetes-related complications

• Potential cardiovascular protection

• Better metabolic health when combined with diet and exercise

By maintaining consistent blood sugar levels, this medication helps prevent damage to organs and promotes a healthier, more active lifestyle for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Possible Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and temporary. However, consult your doctor if they persist or become bothersome.

Common side effects may include:

• Headache

• Nausea

• Dizziness

• Heartburn (gastroesophageal reflux)

• Tremors

• Upper respiratory tract infections

Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can occur, especially if combined with insulin or sulfonylureas. Recognizing the symptoms—such as shakiness, sweating, or confusion—and managing them with quick sugar intake is important.

Precautions

Before starting Gluvilda M + 1000, inform your doctor if you:

• Have kidney, liver, or heart problems

• Consume alcohol regularly

• Have a history of pancreatitis

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding

Other medications may interact with this treatment, so provide your doctor with a full list of your current drugs.

Alcohol Warning

Avoid alcohol while using this medication as it can increase the risk of low blood sugar and lactic acidosis, a rare but serious side effect.

Driving and Operating Machinery

If your blood sugar becomes too low or too high, your alertness may be affected. Avoid driving or using heavy equipment until you know how this medicine affects you.

Use in Kidney or Liver Conditions

• Kidney disease: Use with caution. Dose adjustment may be necessary.

• Liver disease: Not recommended in patients with significant liver impairment.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not take a double dose to make up for it.
