No, Vidglit Tablet is not known to cause weight gain by itself. However, maintaining a healthy weight is important for managing diabetes. Please consult your doctor if you notice any unexplained weight changes while taking this medication.
Is Vidglit Tablet bad for my kidneys?

Do I still need to manage my diet and exercise while on Vidglit Tablet?
Yes, it is essential to continue with healthy diet choices and regular physical activity while taking Vidglit Tablet. This along with the prescribed medication is crucial for effectively managing blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Consulting a dietitian to create a personalized meal plan may be beneficial.
Can my blood sugar levels go too low on Vidglit Tablet?
Yes, your blood sugar levels can decrease significantly (hypoglycemia) while taking this medication. This is more likely if you're also on other diabetes medications or insulin. Skipping meals, exercising intensely, or exceeding the prescribed dosage of Vidglit Tablet can also lead to hypoglycemia. If you experience a sudden drop in blood sugar, contact your doctor immediately as it may require dose adjustments.
How long do I need to take Vidglit Tablet?
Vidglit Tablet only helps manage blood sugar levels and does not cure diabetes. Continue taking the medication for as long as your doctor recommends. It might be a lifelong necessity depending on your individual case.
What will happen if I accidentally take more than the prescribed dose of Vidglit Tablet?
Taking more than the prescribed dosage can lead to hypoglycemia, which may range from mild to severe. Monitor your blood sugar levels closely for the next 24 hours. Mild episodes (symptoms like anxiety, sweating, weakness, tremors, fast heartbeat) often improve with sugary foods like glucose candy or fruit juice. However, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention in case of a severe episode that may lead to seizures or unconsciousness. This situation requires urgent care from a healthcare professional.
What if I miss a dose of Vidglit Tablet?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If you miss a dose and it's almost time for the next dose, skip that missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Never take two doses at once.
What is the most important information I should know about Vidglit Tablet?
Vidglit Tablet is safe when used as prescribed by a doctor. However, rare side effects like pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) can occur. Severe abdominal pain requires immediate medical attention and stopping the medication. If you have pre-existing heart problems, inform your doctor before taking this medication, as it may further increase your risks. Additionally, discussing any kidney-related concerns with your physician is crucial for safe use.
Is Vidglit Tablet safe to take long term?
Yes, using Vidglit Tablet for a long time (months, years, or even lifelong) has not shown any negative effects on your health. Always follow your doctor's recommendations regarding the duration of treatment.
