About Abvida-M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet 15’s

Abvida-M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet 15’s is a combination drug of Vildagliptin (DPP-4 inhibitor), and Metformin (Biguanides) belongs to the class of anti-diabetic. Type 2 diabetes mellitus used to be known as ‘non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)’ or ‘maturity-onset diabetes’. Type 2 diabetes develops if the body does not produce enough insulin, or where the insulin that your body makes does not work as well as it should. It can also develop if the body produces too much glucagon. Insulin is a substance which helps to lower the level of sugar in your blood, especially after meals. Abvida-M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet 15’s is another substance which triggers the production of sugar by the liver, causing the blood sugar to rise. The pancreas makes both of these substances.

Abvida-M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet 15’s helps to control the blood sugar level. It works by making the pancreas produce insulin and less glucagon (effect of vildagliptin) and also by helping the body to make better use of the insulin it produces (effect of metformin). You must continue to follow the diet and exercise recommended for you whilst you are on treatment with Abvida-M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet 15’s. Abvida-M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet 15’s is not a substitute for insulin. It is not used to treat type 1 diabetes (where your body does not produce insulin at all), or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Abvida-M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet 15’s should be taken with food to avoid an upset stomach. Abvida-M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet 15’s should be taken at the same time of the day each time for best results. For better advice, your doctor will decide, what dose should be taken and it can change timely depending upon your condition.

Abvida-M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet 15’s should not be stopped even if you feel better, without consulting your doctor as sugar level keeps changing. If you stop taking Abvida-M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet 15’s abruptly, it may increase your sugar levels which could further increase the risk of eyesight loss (retinopathy), kidney (nephropathy) and nerve damage (neuropathy).
