About Viltab D-5/100 Tablet 15's

Viltab D-5/100 Tablet 15's is an oral prescription medication used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is prescribed when diet and exercise alone, or other single medications, are not enough to keep blood sugar within a healthy range. By controlling blood sugar, this medicine helps prevent long-term complications associated with diabetes.

For the best results, you must take Viltab D-5/100 Tablet 15's consistently every day at the same time as directed by your doctor. You can take this tablet with or without food, though taking it with your morning meal may help prevent an upset stomach. Combining this treatment with a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and routine blood sugar monitoring is essential to manage your condition effectively.

While taking this medicine, you may experience common side effects such as respiratory tract infections, dizziness, or mild low blood sugar. However, you should contact your doctor immediately if you experience serious side effects, such as severe pain in your stomach or back, persistent nausea, or signs of a serious urinary tract infection.

Before starting Viltab D-5/100 Tablet 15's, tell your doctor if you have a history of kidney disease, liver damage, pancreas problems, or frequent urinary tract infections. Do not take this if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious complication of diabetes), or if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.

This medicine can interact with other drugs like water pills and other blood sugar-lowering medicines, which may increase your risk of dehydration or low blood sugar. Avoid heavy alcohol use while taking it, as alcohol can increase the risk of serious complications like inflammation of the pancreas. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or over 65, consult your healthcare provider to ensure this medication is safe for you.

How Viltab D-5/100 Tablet 15's Works

Viltab D-5/100 Tablet 15's contains two medicines namely, Dapagliflozin and Vildagliptin. Dapagliflozin works through the kidneys. It helps remove excess sugar from your blood by passing it out of your body through urine. This lowers your blood sugar levels. Vildagliptin works by increasing the levels of natural hormones that help control blood sugar. These hormones help your pancreas release more insulin when blood sugar is high, especially after meals, and reduce the amount of sugar made by your liver. Together, these medicines help keep your blood sugar under control throughout the day, reducing both fasting and after-meal blood sugar levels.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Stay well-hydrated: Because this medication helps your body remove sugar through urine, it can act as a mild diuretic. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent dehydration and support kidney health.
  • Practice daily foot care: Check your feet every day for cuts, sores, blisters, or redness. Good blood sugar control must be paired with careful foot hygiene to prevent serious complications.
  • Monitor carbohydrate intake: Work with a registered dietitian to learn how to balance your carbohydrate intake. Eating consistent amounts of complex carbs helps prevent sudden spikes and drops in blood sugar.
  • Incorporate regular physical activity: Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise, like brisk walking, per week. Exercise makes your body more sensitive to insulin, helping Viltab D-5/100 Tablet 15's work more effectively.
  • Track your blood sugar levels: Keep a daily log of your glucose readings as advised by your doctor. This helps track your progress and allows your healthcare provider to make safe adjustments to your treatment plan.
