How it works
Vysov DM 10mg/500mg/100mg Tablet is a combination of three antidiabetic medicines. Dapagliflozin increases urinary glucose excretion and reduces blood glucose levels. Vildagliptin helps control blood sugar levels by increasing substances (incretins) in the body that make the pancreas release more insulin. It also signals the liver to stop producing sugar (glucose) when there is too much sugar in the blood. Metformin decreases the amount of glucose absorbed from your food and the amount of glucose made by the liver. It also increases the body's response to insulin, a natural substance that controls the amount of glucose in the blood.
Quick Tips
Your doctor will monitor your blood sugar levels regularly when you are taking Vysov DM 10mg/500mg/100mg Tablet. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) may occur when Vysov DM 10mg/500mg/100mg Tablet is 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, let your doctor know. These are the 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 medication work better.
