Vicemic M 500 Tablet 15

Vicemic M 500 Tablet 15 is used to improve blood-sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

• Type 2 Diabetes: Lowers fasting and after-meal blood sugar through two complementary mechanisms.

• Combination Treatment: Used when one diabetes medicine, diet and exercise do not provide enough control.

• Complication Risk: Better long-term control helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related organ damage.

Here are some steps to follow when taking Vicemic M 500 Tablet 15:

• Swallow the whole tablet with a glass of water.
• Avoid splitting, crushing or chewing the tablet.
• This medicine should be taken regularly as prescribed by your doctor to maintain steady blood glucose control.

Vicemic M 500 Tablet 15 is taken orally.

Vicemic M 500 Tablet 15 comprises two key components:

• Vildagliptin (50 mg): This component selectively inhibits an enzyme called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). DPP-4 breaks down natural substances called incretins that help control insulin secretion based on glucose levels in your body. Therefore, by inhibiting DPP-4, vildagliptin increases and extends incretin activity, resulting in better regulation of insulin secretion and lower glucose levels with minimal risk of hypoglycaemia.
• Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient reduces sugar production in the liver, decreases sugar absorption in the gut, and improves insulin sensitivity, which enhances glucose uptake and utilization by tissues like muscles.
• These two components work together effectively to improve insulin sensitivity, reduce liver-produced glucose, enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion, and manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

• Keep Vicemic M 500 Tablet 15 in a cool, dry place.
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight, heat, and moisture.
• Ensure the medicine is out of reach of children.
• Always check and respect the expiry date before taking the medicine.

• Incorporate foods rich in fibre and low in sugar into your diet to manage blood glucose levels effectively, aiding Vicemic M 500 Tablet 15's function.
• Regular physical activity, such as a brisk 30-minute walk daily, can improve insulin sensitivity and improve diabetes management.
