Zavamet 500 Tablet

Product Introduction
Zavamet 500 Tablet is a blend of two medicines that help in controlling blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Managing blood sugar effectively reduces the risk of serious diabetes-related complications such as kidney issues, vision loss, heart problems, and stroke.

This medicine can be prescribed alone or in combination with other diabetes medications. For the best results, it should be taken along with a proper diet and regular physical activity. The dosage will depend on your medical condition, blood sugar levels, and other medicines you may be using. Taking it with meals can minimize the chances of stomach discomfort. It is important to take the medicine consistently at the same time each day and not stop it unless advised by your doctor. Following a healthy lifestyle is crucial for keeping diabetes under control and improving overall health.

The most common side effects include nausea, headache, dizziness, and symptoms of acid reflux. In some cases, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) may occur, especially when taken with other diabetes medicines like insulin or sulfonylureas, so you should know how to identify and manage it.

This medicine may not be suitable for everyone. Inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney, liver, or heart problems, pancreatic disorders, or if you consume alcohol regularly. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medication. Since some medicines can interfere with its action, provide your doctor with a list of all medicines you are taking. It is also advisable to avoid alcohol as it can affect blood sugar control. Regular monitoring of kidney function and blood sugar is recommended during treatment.

Benefits of Zavamet Tablet
Zavamet 500 Tablet combines two medicines that work in different ways to reduce blood sugar levels. Keeping blood glucose in check is essential for preventing diabetes complications such as kidney damage, nerve issues, eye problems, and even the risk of limb loss. Maintaining stable sugar levels also lowers the chances of heart disease and stroke. When taken regularly along with proper diet and exercise, it can help you lead a healthier and more active life. Continuing the treatment as prescribed ensures long-term protection from diabetes-related complications.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary, disappearing as your body adapts to the medication. Consult your doctor if they continue or become bothersome.
Common side effects may include:

• Tremors
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Acid reflux symptoms
• Upper respiratory tract infection

How to Use Zavamet Tablet
Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole without crushing or chewing. It is best taken with food to reduce stomach upset.

How Zavamet Tablet Works
This tablet contains metformin and vildagliptin. Metformin works by lowering glucose production in the liver, slowing the absorption of sugar from the intestines, and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Vildagliptin increases insulin release and decreases hormones that raise blood sugar. Together, they help in managing fasting and post-meal sugar levels effectively.

Safety Advice

Avoid alcohol as it can interfere with blood sugar levels and increase the risk of side effects.

Pregnancy
Not recommended during pregnancy unless clearly needed. The doctor will weigh potential risks and benefits before prescribing.

Breastfeeding
May not be safe during breastfeeding as the medicine can pass into breast milk and affect the baby.

Driving
Be cautious while driving. Very high or very low blood sugar levels may affect concentration and reaction time.

Kidney Concerns
Patients with kidney problems should use this medicine carefully and may require dosage adjustments.

Liver Concerns
Not recommended for individuals with liver disease.

Missed Dose
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at once.
