Introduction
Vildalip-D 10/100 Tablet SR is a combination medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. This medicine is used together with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps in proper utilization of insulin, thereby lowering the blood sugar level.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Vildalip-D 10/100 Tablet SR may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Vildalip-D 10/100 Tablet SR is a combination of two antidiabetic medications. Dapagliflozin increases urinary glucose excretion and reduces blood glucose levels. Vildagliptin reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver by raising insulin levels and decreasing the levels of the glucagon (the hormone that increases blood glucose level).
Quick Tips
Your doctor will monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medication. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) may occur when taken along with other antidiabetic medicines or on delaying/skipping a meal. Check your blood sugar levels and have a snack/sugar source for immediate relief. If you get unusually thirsty, pass urine more frequently, and feel tired, you should let your doctor know. These are signs of too much sugar in your blood and your dose may need adjusting. Lifestyle changes like a low-fat and salt diet, exercise, not smoking, and cutting down on the amount of alcohol you usually drink may help this medicine work better.
