Used For:

  1. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Viltin-Met helps control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes by combining two different mechanisms:
    • Glimepiride (50mg): Stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin and improves insulin sensitivity.
    • Metformin (500mg): Reduces glucose production in the liver and increases insulin sensitivity.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Viltin-Met may include:

  • Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar): Symptoms include shaking, sweating, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or confusion. Severe cases can require immediate treatment.
  • Nausea or Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal Pain
  • Headache

  • Weight Gain

Serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention):

  • Lactic Acidosis: A rare but serious condition associated with metformin, characterized by muscle pain, difficulty breathing, abdominal discomfort, and unusual tiredness.
  • Severe Hypoglycemia: Symptoms may include extreme confusion, seizures, or loss of consciousness.
  • Allergic Reactions: Symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
  • Liver Problems: Symptoms such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), dark urine, or severe abdominal pain.

Precautions:

  1. Medical History: Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of liver disease, kidney disease, heart disease, or gastrointestinal issues. Additionally, let them know if you have a history of alcohol abuse.
  2. Drug Interactions: Glimepiride and metformin can interact with other medications, including other diabetes medications, certain antibiotics, and drugs affecting kidney function. Inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you are taking.
  3. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. The use of Viltin-Met during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be carefully evaluated, and alternatives may be considered.
  4. Dosage and Administration: Follow the prescribed dosage instructions carefully. Typically, the medication is taken with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Do not adjust the dosage or stop the medication without consulting your healthcare provider.
  5. Monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential to ensure the medication is effective and to make necessary adjustments.
