Galvus 50 mg, reduces blood sugar levels and protects against diabetes complications - 28 tablets

Vildagliptin is an inhibitor of DPP-4, an enzyme that breaks down incretin hormones, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).
Incretin helps the body produce more insulin only when it is needed and reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver.

Vildagliptin is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes:
As monotherapy in patients for whom metformin is not suitable
In combination with other medicinal products for the treatment of diabetes, including insulin, when these medicines do not provide adequate blood sugar control

When used alone, the recommended daily dose of vildagliptin is 50-100 mg, given as a single 50 mg dose in the morning and a single 50 mg dose in the evening if needed.
When used with a sulfonylurea, the recommended dose of vildagliptin is 50 mg once daily in the morning.
Doses above 100 mg are not recommended.
Doses may be changed under special circumstances, so always follow your doctor or pharmacist's instructions.
If you take more medicine than you should, talk to a doctor or go to the hospital immediately.
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose.
Do not take a double dose (two doses at the same time) to make up for a missed dose.

Although the following side effects are not common to everyone, some patients may experience:

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Your doctor will discuss the potential risks and benefits of using this medication during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

All carbohydrates affect blood glucose levels, so it's important to know which foods contain carbohydrates. Choose healthy carbohydrate-containing foods and be aware of the portion size (amount of carbohydrates) required.
Reduce your salt intake. Eating too much salt can increase your risk of high blood pressure, which in turn increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. When you have diabetes, you're already at greater risk for all of these conditions.
Eat more fruits and vegetables. This can help you get the vitamins, minerals, and fiber your body needs daily to maintain your health.
You can always try low-calorie or no-calorie sweeteners (also known as artificial sweeteners) to help you cut down on sugar, for example Steviana, Sugar Free or Tropicana Artificial Sweetener.
Don't forget to keep moving. Being more active helps you control your blood sugar levels.
Remember to measure your blood glucose level regularly using home devices such as Accu-Chek, Instant, or a blood glucose meter.
Thiozac capsules and Neurobion tablets will help you reduce nerve problems caused by diabetes.
If you experience symptoms of low blood sugar such as weakness, dizziness, increased sweating, rapid heartbeat, blurred vision, or difficulty concentrating, eating or drinking something containing sugar usually helps.

If you have type 1 diabetes (meaning your body does not produce insulin) or if you have a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis.
If you are taking an antidiabetic medicine known as a sulfonylurea
If you have moderate or severe kidney disease
If you are on dialysis.
If you have liver disease.
If you have heart failure.
If you have or have had pancreatic disease.

Random blood sugar test: A blood sample will be taken at a random time. Regardless of when you last ate, a blood sugar level of 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or higher indicates diabetes. A blood sugar level below 140 mg/dL is considered normal, and a reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL indicates diabetes risk.
Fasting blood sugar test. A blood sample will be taken after you fast overnight. A fasting blood sugar level below 100 mg/dL is normal. A fasting blood sugar level of 100 to 125 mg/dL is considered prediabetes. If the level is 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests, you may have diabetes.
Oral glucose tolerance test: For this test, you fast overnight, and your fasting blood sugar level is measured. You then drink a sugary liquid, and your blood sugar levels are tested periodically for the next two hours.
