Ignalis-M 50/1000 Tablet ER

Product Introduction
Ignalis-M 50/1000 Tablet ER contains two medicines that work together to manage high blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. By keeping blood sugar levels under control, this medicine helps prevent long-term complications of diabetes, such as kidney damage, vision loss, and may even lower the risk of heart attack or stroke.

Your doctor may prescribe Ignalis-M 50/1000 Tablet ER either alone or along with other diabetes medicines. For best results, it should be used in combination with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. The exact dosage will depend on your current blood sugar levels, overall health condition, and other medications you may be taking. Taking the tablet with meals can help reduce the chance of stomach-related side effects.

To achieve maximum benefit, take this medicine consistently at the same time each day. Do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor. It is equally important to maintain the diet and exercise plan suggested by your healthcare provider, as lifestyle choices play a vital role in diabetes management.

The most frequently reported side effects include diarrhea, headaches, and upper respiratory tract infections. In some cases, especially when used with other diabetes medicines like insulin or sulfonylureas, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) may occur. It is important to recognize its symptoms and know how to manage them.

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 regularly. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek medical advice before starting this medicine. Also, mention any other medicines you are taking to avoid interactions. Your doctor may periodically monitor your kidney function and blood sugar levels while you are on treatment.

Uses
This medicine is primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus by improving blood sugar control.

Benefits
Ignalis-M 50/1000 Tablet ER combines two active ingredients that help lower blood glucose in different ways. Keeping blood sugar within a healthy range is crucial to reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications like kidney failure, nerve damage, and vision problems. It may also help prevent serious conditions such as heart disease and stroke. When taken regularly alongside proper diet and exercise, this medication supports better long-term health and overall well-being.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and tend to go away as your body adapts to the medication. However, consult your doctor if they persist or become bothersome.

• Diarrhea

• Headache

• Upper respiratory tract infection

How to Take
Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not chew, crush, or break it. It should be taken with food to reduce stomach irritation. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor.

How It Works
Ignalis-M 50/1000 Tablet ER contains sitagliptin and metformin. Sitagliptin helps the pancreas produce more insulin, makes the body use insulin more efficiently, and lowers the amount of sugar produced by the liver. Metformin works by reducing glucose production in the liver, slowing sugar absorption in the intestines, and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Together, they help maintain balanced blood sugar levels.
