Metsmall VX 1000 Tablet SR

Metsmall VX 1000 Tablet SR is a dual-action medication used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It combines two active ingredients that work together to help maintain blood sugar levels within a healthy range, reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney issues, vision problems, and cardiovascular conditions.

This medicine can be prescribed on its own or alongside other diabetes treatments. It works most effectively when paired with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. The dose prescribed by your doctor depends on your blood sugar readings, overall health, and any other medications you may be taking. Taking the tablet with food can help minimize stomach discomfort. Consistency is key, so it is important to take it at the same time every day and continue treatment unless advised otherwise by your healthcare provider. Following the recommended diet and exercise plan is essential while using this medicine.

Possible Side Effects
Some people may experience nausea, headache, stomach upset, or acid reflux. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) may occur, especially if you are also taking other diabetes medications such as insulin or sulfonylureas. Symptoms of low blood sugar include sweating, dizziness, headache, or trembling, and it is important to have a quick source of sugar available, like fruit juice or candy. Alcohol may increase the risk of low blood sugar and should be avoided. Other potential effects include changes in taste, diarrhea, mild swelling, blurred vision, or upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may also occur in some individuals.

This medication is not suitable for everyone. Avoid it if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, severe liver or kidney problems, or a history of heart disease unless advised by your doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss with their healthcare provider before using this medicine. Always inform your doctor of all medications you are currently taking to ensure safety.

Uses
Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Benefits
Metsmall VX 1000 Tablet SR works by combining two complementary mechanisms to control blood sugar. One component helps reduce sugar production in the liver, delays absorption from the intestines, and improves the body’s response to insulin. The other increases insulin release from the pancreas and lowers blood sugar–raising hormones, helping to maintain balanced levels both before and after meals. Proper use of this medicine, along with a healthy lifestyle, can reduce the risk of complications such as kidney disease, eye damage, nerve problems, and cardiovascular events, supporting long-term health.

How to Take It
Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole with food. Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet.

Mechanism of Action
Metsmall VX 1000 Tablet SR combines metformin and vildagliptin. Metformin decreases liver glucose production, slows the absorption of sugar from food, and improves insulin sensitivity. Vildagliptin enhances insulin secretion and suppresses hormones that elevate blood sugar levels. Together, these actions provide effective control of both fasting and post-meal glucose levels.

Precautions
Avoid alcohol while using this medication
Consult a doctor before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
Driving may be affected if blood sugar is too high or too low
Use cautiously if you have kidney problems; dose adjustments may be necessary
Avoid in patients with severe liver disease

Missed Dose Instructions
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to compensate.
