Used For:

• Viptin Met 50/850mg Tablets are a combination medication used to manage type 2 diabetes. This formulation typically contains:
  • Vildagliptin (50 mg): A DPP-4 inhibitor that helps regulate blood sugar levels by increasing the levels of incretin hormones, which enhance insulin secretion and decrease glucose production by the liver.
  • Metformin (850 mg): A biguanide that lowers blood glucose levels by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose production in the liver.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort, particularly during the initial weeks of treatment.
• Some patients might experience headache, dizziness, or fatigue.
• Other potential side effects can include upper respiratory tract infections, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially when taken with other antidiabetic medications, and a metallic taste in the mouth.
• In rare cases, severe side effects such as lactic acidosis (symptoms include muscle pain, weakness, difficulty breathing), pancreatitis, or allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, difficulty breathing) may occur.

Precautions:

• Before taking Viptin Met 50/850mg Tablets, inform your doctor if you have any known allergies, medical conditions (such as kidney or liver disease, heart disease, or a history of lactic acidosis), or if you are taking any other medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
• This medication should be used with caution in patients with kidney impairment or those at risk for cardiovascular issues.
• Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels, kidney function, and other relevant parameters is essential during treatment.
• Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking this medication, as it can increase the risk of lactic acidosis.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using this medication.
