Vilnox 50 Tablet 15's is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone. It may be used alone or in combination with other medicines. It contains Vildagliptin, which increases the level of incretin hormone (released after the meal to stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas) so that sufficient insulin can be produced from the pancreas to lower raised blood sugar levels. In some cases, it may cause side effects such as dizziness, nausea, headache, excessive sweating, low blood sugar levels, and trembling. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Vilnox 50 Tablet 15's

Vilnox 50 Tablet 15's is used to treat Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood to become too high. It's a lifelong condition that can affect your everyday life. You may need to adjust your diet, take medication, and undergo regular checkups to lead a normal life.

Vilnox 50 Tablet 15's contains linagliptin, which works by blocking the action of DPP-4, an enzyme that destroys the hormone incretin (the enzyme which helps produce more insulin only when required and reduces the liver's blood sugar level when not needed).

Not everyone who is taking Vilnox 50 Tablet 15's will get these side effects. The most common side effects of Vilnox 50 Tablet 15's are low blood glucose levels, nasopharyngitis (infection of nose and throat with the common cold), and headache. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult the doctor.

Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily in the morning. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or worsens (if your blood sugar is too high or too low).

Do not take Vilnox 50 Tablet 15's if you are allergic to any of its components. Vilnox 50 Tablet 15's should not be stopped even if you feel better, without consulting your doctor as your sugar level keeps changing. If you stop taking Vilnox 50 Tablet 15's abruptly, it may increase your sugar levels which could further increase the risk of eyesight loss, kidney damage, and nerve damage. Vilnox 50 Tablet 15's should not be taken if you have type 1 diabetes mellitus or severe kidney or liver disease. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

It is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, limb loss, and sexual dysfunction. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
