Diabetace Duo may be prescribed independently or alongside other anti-diabetic treatments. Optimal results require adherence to a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

FAQs on Viltas DM 500mg/50mg Tablet SR

Viltas DM 500mg/50mg SR tablets rarely cause hypoglycemia by themselves. However, low blood sugar can result from inadequate caloric intake while using this medication. Hypoglycemia symptoms include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety or shakiness. These symptoms are more pronounced if meals are skipped or delayed, alcohol is consumed, excessive exercise occurs, or other antidiabetic medications are taken concurrently. Therefore, regular blood sugar monitoring is crucial. Always keep glucose tablets, honey, or fruit juice readily available.
Nausea and vomiting are possible side effects of Viltas DM 500mg/50mg Tablet SR. If vomiting occurs, sip small amounts of water or other fluids frequently. Persistent vomiting or signs of dehydration (dark, strong-smelling urine, infrequent urination) require immediate medical attention. Do not take other medications without consulting your doctor.
Patients with allergies to Viltas DM 500mg/50mg Tablet SR components or excipients, or those with severe kidney or liver impairment, congestive heart failure, lactic acidosis, or diabetic ketoacidosis, should not use this medication.
Store this medication in its original, tightly closed container, following the storage instructions on the label or packaging. Discard any unused medication and ensure it's inaccessible to children, pets, and others.
Viltas DM 500mg/50mg SR tablets combine the anti-diabetic medications metformin (a biguanide) and vildagliptin. Metformin reduces liver glucose production, slows intestinal glucose absorption, and enhances insulin sensitivity. Vildagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, boosts insulin release from the pancreas. This combination is contraindicated for individuals under 18.
Viltas DM 500mg/50mg Tablet SR can cause lactic acidosis, a serious medical emergency characterized by excessive blood lactic acid (also known as MALA, or Metformin-associated lactic acidosis). This rare side effect necessitates avoidance in patients with kidney disease, the elderly, or those consuming significant alcohol. Symptoms include muscle pain/weakness, dizziness, fatigue, cold extremities, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bradycardia. If experienced, discontinue Viltas DM 500mg/50mg Tablet SR and seek immediate medical attention.
Prolonged use of Viltas DM 500mg/50mg Tablet SR may lead to vitamin B12 deficiency by hindering its absorption in the stomach. This deficiency, if left untreated, can result in anemia and neurological complications.
Viltas DM 500mg/50mg SR tablets are safe when used as directed by your doctor. However, even with proper usage, common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, nasal congestion, sore throat, respiratory infection, and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia, especially if also taking insulin or sulphonylurea). Report any persistent side effects to your doctor.
