Valera Tablet

Product Introduction

Valera Tablet is prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Along with a balanced diet and regular physical activity, it helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney problems and vision damage.

This medicine is usually recommended when lifestyle measures or other treatments alone are not enough to control blood glucose. It can be taken with or without food, as directed by your doctor. The dose depends on your health condition and blood sugar readings. For the best results, it should be taken consistently at the same time each day.

Uses of Valera Tablet

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Benefits of Valera Tablet

In people with type 2 diabetes, the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot use it effectively. Valera Tablet works by improving insulin release after meals and lowering sugar production in the liver. This helps achieve better blood sugar control and lowers the chance of long-term diabetes complications.

Possible Side Effects

Some people may experience side effects, which usually improve as the body adjusts to the medicine. Commonly reported effects include:

• Low blood sugar (when used with insulin or sulfonylurea)

• Sore throat or nasal irritation (nasopharyngitis)

• Stomach discomfort

• Joint pain

Seek medical advice if side effects persist or worsen.

How to Use

Take the medicine in the dose and duration recommended by your doctor. Swallow whole with water—do not chew or crush. It may be taken with or without meals, but taking it at the same time each day helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.

How It Works

Valera Tablet belongs to the group of anti-diabetic medicines. It helps the pancreas release more insulin and lowers hormones that increase blood glucose, thereby reducing both fasting and post-meal sugar levels.

Safety Advice

• Alcohol: Consult your doctor before consuming alcohol, as it may affect blood sugar control.

• Pregnancy: Not recommended unless prescribed. Your doctor will weigh risks and benefits.

• Breastfeeding: May not be safe—consult your doctor.

• Driving: Generally safe, but be cautious if also using insulin or sulfonylureas due to the risk of hypoglycemia.

• Kidneys: Use carefully if you have kidney problems; not advised in advanced kidney disease requiring dialysis.

• Liver: Safe if prescribed, but caution is advised in severe liver conditions.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take extra doses to make up for the missed one.
