Intaglip OD 100mg Tablet

Product Introduction
Intaglip OD 100mg Tablet is a medication prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is used alongside a balanced diet and regular physical activity to help regulate blood sugar levels. Proper control of blood sugar helps lower the risk of serious diabetes-related complications, such as kidney damage and vision problems.

This medicine is usually recommended when lifestyle changes like diet and exercise or other diabetes medicines are not sufficient to maintain normal blood sugar levels. It may be prescribed on its own or in combination with other antidiabetic medicines. It can be taken with or without meals, and the exact dosage will depend on your blood sugar readings and overall health condition. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully for the best results.

For effective blood sugar control, it is important to take this medicine consistently at the same time each day. Do not discontinue the medication without consulting your doctor. Sticking to a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet and exercise, is essential for better diabetes management.

Some commonly reported side effects of this medicine include low blood sugar, trembling, headaches, dizziness, tiredness, and nausea. Recognizing signs of low blood sugar is very important — symptoms may include sweating, faintness, confusion, or a dry mouth. Carrying glucose tablets or sugary candy can help you manage sudden drops in blood sugar. If side effects persist or become troublesome, seek medical advice promptly.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney problems, heart issues, or any disorders related to the pancreas. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their doctor before using this medicine. Also, tell your doctor about any other medicines you are taking, as some may interact with Intaglip OD 100mg Tablet. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, as it can increase the risk of low blood sugar. Regular monitoring of kidney function and blood sugar levels may be needed during treatment.

Uses of Intaglip OD 100mg Tablet
This medicine is primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Benefits in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not properly respond to insulin, leading to increased blood sugar levels. Intaglip OD 100mg Tablet helps reduce blood sugar by boosting insulin release and lowering the amount of sugar produced by the liver. It works in response to meals, providing better blood sugar control throughout the day and lowering the risk of long-term complications associated with diabetes.

Most side effects are temporary and resolve as the body adjusts to the medication. However, consult a doctor if they persist or worsen.
Common side effects may include:

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

• Shaking or trembling

• Headache

• Dizziness

• Fatigue or weakness

• Nausea

How to Take
Swallow the tablet whole with water, without crushing or chewing. It can be taken with or without food, ideally at the same time each day. Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and schedule closely.

How It Works
This medicine belongs to a class of antidiabetic drugs that work by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas while reducing the activity of hormones that increase blood sugar. This helps lower both fasting and post-meal glucose levels.
