Intaglip Tablet

Product Introduction
Intaglip Tablet is prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is used along with a balanced diet and regular physical activity to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. By doing so, it lowers the chances of developing severe complications related to diabetes, such as kidney damage, vision problems, and other long-term health risks.

This medicine is usually recommended when lifestyle changes like diet control and exercise, or other medicines, are not enough to regulate blood sugar. It can be used on its own or in combination with other antidiabetic medicines. It may be taken with meals or on an empty stomach, exactly as directed by your doctor. The dosage will depend on your medical condition and your blood sugar levels. Taking it consistently at the same time each day will give the best results. Do not stop the medication without your doctor’s advice.

While using this medicine, it is essential to follow the meal plan and exercise routine suggested by your healthcare provider, as lifestyle habits play an important role in keeping diabetes under control.

Some common side effects that may occur include low blood sugar, headache, trembling, tiredness, dizziness, and nausea. Knowing the early warning signs of low blood sugar, such as sweating, sudden hunger, feeling lightheaded, dry mouth, or fainting, is very important. Keeping glucose tablets or sugar candy handy can help you manage these symptoms quickly. Seek medical advice if these effects do not go away or become bothersome.

Before starting the medication, inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney problems, heart conditions, or issues with your pancreas. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is important to discuss the potential benefits and risks with your doctor. Also, let your doctor know about any other medicines you are taking, as some drugs may interact with this treatment. Reducing alcohol consumption is strongly recommended, as drinking alcohol can increase the chances of low blood sugar. Regular check-ups, including blood glucose and kidney function tests, may be needed to ensure the medicine is working safely and effectively.

Uses
This tablet is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus to help manage blood sugar levels.

Benefits
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not use insulin properly, resulting in high blood sugar levels. This medicine helps lower blood sugar by encouraging the pancreas to release more insulin and by reducing sugar production in the liver. It works best around meal times, keeping blood sugar levels balanced throughout the day. By maintaining better glucose control, it helps prevent diabetes-related complications and improves overall health.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are temporary and tend to improve as the body adjusts to the medicine. However, if they continue or cause concern, seek medical advice.
Common side effects include:

• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

• Shaking or trembling

• Headache

• Feeling dizzy

• Tiredness

• Nausea

How to Take
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, break, or chew it. It can be taken with or without food but should be taken at the same time each day for consistent results. Follow the exact dosage and schedule prescribed by your doctor.

How It Works
This medicine works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas while also lowering the levels of certain hormones that raise blood sugar. As a result, both fasting and after-meal sugar levels are reduced, helping to keep blood sugar under control.
