Composition

Metformin (500 Mg) + Vildagliptin (50 Mg)

Abglip M 500 MG Tablet 15 is primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. This combination medication falls into the class of oral anti-diabetic agents.

It is also prescribed for improved control of blood sugar levels in adults who have type 2 diabetes and cannot manage their condition via diet and exercise alone. The medicine plays a significant role in reducing both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels, thus lowering the risk of serious long-term complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, nerve problems, and vision loss.

Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications you're currently on. If you experience any side effects while taking this medication, notify your doctor immediately. Remember to continue taking this medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor to achieve the best results.

Abglip M 500 MG Tablet 15 is used to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Side Effects of Abglip M 500 MG Tablet 15

Abglip M 500 MG Tablet 15 may have the following side effects:

Diarrhoea
Nausea
Vomiting
Abdominal pain
Appetite loss
Upper respiratory tract infections
Nasopharyngitis: Inflammation of the throat or nose due to a common cold.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Abglip M 500 MG Tablet 15. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some simple tips to manage a couple of common side effects:

Diarrhoea: Try taking this medicine with food, as it can help ease this symptom.
Nausea and vomiting: Taking this medicine after meals might help reduce these symptoms.

Abglip M 500 MG Tablet 15 comprises two key components:

Vildagliptin (50 mg): This component selectively inhibits an enzyme called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). DPP-4 breaks down natural substances called incretins that help control insulin secretion based on glucose levels in your body. Therefore, by inhibiting DPP-4, vildagliptin increases and extends incretin activity, resulting in better regulation of insulin secretion and lower glucose levels with minimal risk of hypoglycaemia.
Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient reduces sugar production in the liver, decreases sugar absorption in the gut, and improves insulin sensitivity, which enhances glucose uptake and utilization by tissues like muscles.
These two components work together effectively to improve insulin sensitivity, reduce liver-produced glucose, enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion, and manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Abglip M 500 MG Tablet 15 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
