VILPOWER-50 TAB
₹115.00
The Vilpower 50 mg Tablet is a prescription oral antidiabetic medication used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains Vildagliptin 50 mg as its active ingredient.
Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Vildagliptin (50 mg)
- Therapeutic Class: Anti-diabetic, specifically a Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor
- Uses: Treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise alone (or other medications) are not sufficient to control blood sugar levels. It helps prevent long-term complications such as kidney damage, vision problems, nerve problems, and an increased risk of heart disease or stroke.
- How it Works: Vildagliptin works by increasing the levels of “incretin” hormones in the body. These hormones stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin (especially after meals) and reduce the liver’s production of glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar). This dual action helps lower both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels.
- Administration: It is an oral tablet that should be swallowed whole with water, with or without food. It is usually taken once or twice daily at the same time each day for best results.
Important Precautions & Side Effects
- Common Side Effects: Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), headache, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, tremors, and joint pain. It is important to know the symptoms of hypoglycemia (e.g., sweating, lightheadedness) and carry a source of sugar to manage them.
- Lifestyle: The medication works best when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise program.
- Contraindications/Warnings:
- Not for use in Type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
- Avoid if you have severe liver disease.
- Use with caution and dose adjustment in patients with moderate to severe kidney impairment.
- Consult a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Limit alcohol consumption, as it can increase the risk of low blood sugar levels.
- Do not stop taking the medication without consulting a doctor, as blood sugar levels may rise abruptly.
Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and to ensure the safe and appropriate use of this medication.
