Zavamet 1000 Tablet

Product introduction
Zavamet 1000 Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage high blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. By controlling blood glucose, it helps lower the risk of serious diabetes-related complications such as kidney problems, eye damage, and in some cases, reduces the chances of heart attack or stroke.

This tablet can be prescribed alone or alongside other antidiabetic medicines. For the best results, it should be used along with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. The dosage will be decided by your doctor depending on your blood sugar levels, overall health condition, and other medicines you may be taking. Taking it with meals helps minimize stomach discomfort. It is important to take the medicine regularly at the same time each day and to continue using it unless advised otherwise by your doctor. Along with medication, following the recommended diet and exercise routine is essential to keep diabetes under control.

Common side effects may include nausea, headache, and symptoms of acid reflux. In some cases, low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) may occur, especially if you are also taking insulin or other similar diabetes medicines. You should be aware of the signs of low blood sugar and how to manage it.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney, liver, or heart conditions, any issues related to the pancreas, or if you consume alcohol frequently. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medication. Also, inform your doctor about any other medicines you are taking, as they may interact with Zavamet 1000 Tablet. It is advisable to limit alcohol consumption as it can interfere with blood sugar control. Regular monitoring of kidney function and blood sugar is recommended during the treatment.

Benefits of Zavamet Tablet
This tablet combines two active ingredients that work through different mechanisms to lower blood sugar levels. Keeping blood sugar levels in check plays a key role in preventing diabetes-related complications such as nerve damage, kidney failure, vision problems, and poor wound healing, which can lead to more serious outcomes like limb amputation. Additionally, good blood sugar control also reduces the risk of cardiovascular problems, including heart attack and stroke. When taken regularly, along with proper diet and exercise, it helps you maintain a healthier and more active life.

How Zavamet Tablet works
This medicine contains two antidiabetic components: Metformin and Vildagliptin.

• Metformin lowers glucose production in the liver, slows down the absorption of glucose from the intestines, and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
• Vildagliptin works by boosting insulin release from the pancreas and reducing the release of hormones that increase blood sugar.

Together, they help control both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels, providing effective diabetes management.
