Ignalis-M 100/1000 Tablet ER

Product Introduction
Ignalis-M 100/1000 Tablet ER is a combination medicine used to manage high blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. By keeping blood sugar under control, it helps prevent long-term complications such as kidney damage, vision problems, nerve damage, and may also lower the risk of serious conditions like heart attacks or strokes.

This medicine may be prescribed alone or along with other antidiabetic medications. It works best when used alongside a balanced diet and regular physical activity. The exact dosage depends on your medical condition, current blood sugar levels, and other medicines you might be taking. Taking this tablet with meals can help minimize stomach discomfort.

For the best results, take it consistently at the same time each day. Do not stop using it unless your doctor advises you to. Following a healthy lifestyle, including a proper diet and exercise plan, is essential while taking this medication as it plays a crucial role in controlling diabetes.

Some common side effects include diarrhea, headaches, and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections. In some cases, especially if taken with other diabetes medicines like insulin or sulfonylureas, it may cause low blood sugar levels, so it is important to recognize the signs of hypoglycemia and manage them promptly.

This medicine may not be suitable for everyone. Inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney, liver, or heart problems, pancreatic issues, or if you consume alcohol frequently. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before starting this medication. It’s important to inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, as some may interact with Ignalis-M 100/1000 Tablet ER. Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can interfere with blood glucose control. Your doctor will likely monitor your kidney function and blood sugar levels regularly during treatment.

Benefits of Ignalis-M Tablet ER
Ignalis-M 100/1000 Tablet ER combines two active ingredients that work together to effectively reduce blood sugar levels. Keeping your blood sugar under control is vital to prevent serious diabetes-related complications such as kidney disease, eye damage, nerve issues, and even the risk of losing limbs. It can also lower the chances of developing heart-related problems and stroke. When taken regularly along with proper diet and exercise, this medicine can help you lead a healthier and more active life. Continuing the treatment as prescribed is important to maintain these benefits.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary, gradually disappearing as your body adapts to the medicine. However, consult your doctor if they persist or cause concern.
Common side effects include:

• Loose stools or diarrhea

• Headache

• Respiratory tract infections such as colds or throat irritation

How to Use
Take the tablet in the exact dose and for the duration prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole without chewing or crushing. It should always be taken with food to minimize stomach-related side effects.

How it Works
This tablet contains sitagliptin and metformin. Sitagliptin helps the pancreas release more insulin, improves the way your body uses insulin, and reduces excess sugar production in the liver. Metformin works by lowering the amount of glucose produced by the liver, delaying sugar absorption in the intestines, and increasing insulin sensitivity. Together, these actions help in achieving better control of blood sugar levels.
