Product Introduction

Intaglip-M Tablet combines two active ingredients that help in managing high blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. By keeping blood glucose levels under control, this medication lowers the risk of serious complications related to diabetes, including kidney damage, eye problems, and nerve issues. It may also reduce the chances of developing heart-related conditions such as heart attack and stroke.

Your doctor may prescribe Intaglip-M Tablet alone or alongside other diabetes medicines. For the best results, it should be taken along with a proper diet and regular physical activity. The exact dose will depend on your current health condition, blood sugar readings, and other medications you may be taking. It is best taken with meals to minimize stomach discomfort. Taking it at the same time every day helps maintain steady blood sugar levels. Do not stop taking the medicine unless advised by your doctor. Along with the medication, following a healthy lifestyle and exercise routine is vital to achieve better diabetes control.

Some common side effects include nausea, headache, and digestive issues like acid reflux. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) may occur, especially if you are taking it along with other diabetes medicines such as insulin or sulfonylureas. It is important to recognize the symptoms of low blood sugar and know how to manage them.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any medical history of kidney, liver, or heart problems, pancreatic disorders, or if you consume alcohol frequently. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use. Some medicines can interact with Intaglip-M Tablet, so let your doctor know about all the medications you are currently taking. Alcohol should be avoided as it can lead to fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Regular monitoring of kidney function and blood glucose is recommended during treatment.

Uses
Used for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Benefits
Intaglip-M Tablet helps in lowering blood sugar by combining two different mechanisms of action. Keeping blood glucose within a healthy range significantly reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, eye diseases, nerve issues, and in severe cases, loss of limbs. It also supports heart health by lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and strokes. Regular use, along with a balanced diet and active lifestyle, can help maintain overall health and improve quality of life. Continuing the medication as prescribed offers long-term protection against future health issues related to diabetes.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary. If they persist or become bothersome, contact your doctor.
Common side effects include:

Tremors or shaking
Headache
Dizziness
Nausea
Acid reflux or indigestion
Upper respiratory tract infections

How to Use
Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dose and duration. Swallow the tablet whole without crushing or chewing. It is best taken with food to avoid stomach upset.

How It Works
This medicine is a blend of metformin and vildagliptin. Metformin works by reducing sugar production in the liver, slowing sugar absorption in the intestines, and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Vildagliptin helps increase insulin release from the pancreas while reducing the levels of hormones that raise blood sugar. Together, they effectively lower both fasting and after-meal glucose levels, offering comprehensive blood sugar control.
