Ignalis M 50mg/500mg Tablet ER 10s

Ignalis M 50mg/500mg Tablet ER 10s is a combination medication featuring Metformin and Sitagliptin, specifically formulated for managing high blood sugar levels in Type 2 Diabetes. By combining Sitagliptin, which enhances insulin's effectiveness and reduces liver sugar production, with Metformin, a biguanide that lowers glucose production, delays sugar absorption, and improves insulin sensitivity, this medication provides an effective tool for regulating blood sugar levels in diabetes management.

Sitagliptin enhances insulin effectiveness and reduces liver sugar production. Metformin, as a biguanide, works by lowering glucose production, delaying sugar absorption, and improving the body's sensitivity to insulin. The combined action of these medications effectively regulates blood sugar levels in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes.

Follow your doctor's guidance on dose and duration. You can take this medication, but maintaining a consistent daily time is recommended for optimal results.

Common side effects may include vomiting, upper respiratory tract infection, hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level), nausea, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. These effects are generally mild and temporary, but if persistent, consult your healthcare provider for guidance.

Regularly monitor kidney function for abnormalities, report symptoms of hypoglycemia or lactic acidosis promptly, and inform your doctor of any existing kidney or liver issues. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption and adhere to a balanced diet and exercise regimen as recommended for comprehensive diabetes management.

In case you forget to take a dose of medication take it as soon as remember, or skip it if it's almost time for the next dose. Adhering to the prescribed dosing schedule is essential for optimal effectiveness. Consult with your healthcare provider if there are concerns about missed doses to ensure continued safe and effective diabetes management.
