Product Introduction
Zilda M 500mg/50mg Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps control high blood sugar levels and lowers the risk of serious diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, eye issues, heart attack, and stroke. It is most effective when used alongside a proper diet and regular exercise. The dose and duration are based on individual needs, and it should be taken with food to reduce the risk of stomach upset. For best results, take the medicine at the same time every day and continue using it as prescribed by your doctor.
How It Works
Zilda M 500mg/50mg Tablet contains two antidiabetic agents: metformin and vildagliptin. Metformin works by reducing glucose production in the liver, slowing glucose absorption from the intestines, and increasing insulin sensitivity. Vildagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases insulin release from the pancreas and reduces the hormones that elevate blood sugar levels. Together, these actions help control both fasting and post-meal glucose levels, supporting better long-term diabetes management.
Usage Instructions
Take Zilda M 500mg/50mg Tablet in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole with water and do not chew, crush, or break it. It must be taken with food to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort.
