CompositionZavamet 500 Tablet is used to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are not enough. Good control helps reduce the long-term risk of complications such as kidney, nerve and eye damage.
It combines vildagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor that helps the body release more insulin after meals, and metformin, which improves the body's response to insulin and reduces the glucose made by the liver. Take it with food as prescribed.
A balanced diet with controlled carbohydrate intake, regular activity, keeping to a healthy weight and routine blood sugar monitoring support better control alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any liver or kidney problems before starting, and about other medicines you take. Regular liver function tests are recommended. Report severe or ongoing stomach pain or yellowing of the skin or eyes.
