Frequently asked questions
Can Wonglita Tablet cause weight gain?
Wonglita Tablet can lead to weight gain, which may be related to the dose. Fat accumulation is a potential reason for this weight gain. However, in patients with heart failure, it might be caused by water retention within the body. Therefore, monitoring weight is important in heart failure cases.
Can Wonglita Tablet cause heart failure?
Wonglita Tablet may cause fluid retention, which can aggravate or worsen heart failure. Doctors typically start with the lowest possible dose and gradually increase it based on individual needs while treating patients who have at least one risk factor for heart failure (previous heart attack, coronary artery disease, advanced age). It's also important to note that heart failure is more likely to occur when Wonglita Tablet is used alongside insulin.
Can I combine Wonglita Tablet with metformin?
Yes, Wonglita Tablet can be taken with metformin, particularly when metformin alone isn't sufficient for managing blood sugar levels. This combination is suitable for adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and overweight individuals experiencing poor blood sugar control.
What time should I take Wonglita Tablet?
Wonglita Tablet is usually taken once daily, but the best timing may be decided by your doctor. Taking it at any time of day is generally acceptable, and you can even choose to have it with or without food.
How long do I need to take Wonglita Tablet? Can I stop taking it completely?
Continue taking Wonglita Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. Managing diabetes mellitus often involves long-term treatment, potentially requiring lifelong medication use. However, consult with your doctor if you must discontinue the medication, as stopping abruptly could lead to sudden and dangerous changes in blood sugar levels.
Does Wonglita Tablet affect the liver?
Yes, Wonglita Tablet may cause an increase in liver enzyme levels. If this occurs, treatment with Wonglita Tablet should be stopped, and your doctor will likely schedule periodic liver enzyme tests. Patients with existing liver disease are not candidates for Wonglita Tablet use.
What type of medicine is Wonglita Tablet?
Wonglita Tablet belongs to the thiazolidinediones class of anti-diabetic medications. It works by improving how your body uses insulin, a hormone involved in regulating blood sugar levels. This improvement allows cells to become more sensitive to insulin.
Can Wonglita Tablet cause bladder cancer?
Wonglita Tablet has been linked to an increased risk of bladder cancer, though it's rare. If you experience blood in your urine, pain when urinating, or a sudden need to urinate, these are potential symptoms that demand immediate consultation with your doctor. Wonglita Tablet should not be prescribed to individuals who have previously had bladder cancer or are currently diagnosed with the condition.
