Jalra 50mg Tablet Health Feed

Hello, Thanks for the query. In diabetes when required control is not achieved with single drug, multiple drugs are used. In T2 diabetes the beta cell mass is already down to 50 % by the time diagnosis is made. Then if severe hyperglycemia is present then there's further damage to remaining beta cells. In such situations Insulin injections are required along with oral anti- diabetic drugs. Thus the reason for using more drugs is to achieve better glucose control. Thanks.

Hi Sir/Mam, Thanks for your query. Tab Tryglinace you have to take half an hour before breakfast.
Tab Jalra m you can take after your lunch and after dinner.
To talk me in detail you can call me.

if your pp sugar level is 300 mg/100 ml, then diabetes is not in control. You need to add some more drugs with the advise from your doctor. What is the hba1c%, is it below 7%? also how active you are, because exercise ad weight reduction helps in better control of blood sugar.

Avoid cashew kismis dates
avoid fruit juices.
Avoid extra salt and oil

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. However, there is only mention of medication being taken. That does not give any idea about how is the actual glucose control, because there is no information on fasting, pp glucose, hba1c%, dietary pattern, lipid profile, extent of daily exercise and bp readings.

I don't recommend metformin more than 1500mg in a day. Kindly consult further with your recent blood sugar levels.

Mr. Lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
Tablet obimet contains metformin. Whereas vildagliptin is a different compound. These drugs are usaully combined together. But whether to to one or both depends on the glucose levels, hba1c%, I can not answer without all the necessary details. Thanks.

It will be better to add insulin to your medication for better blood sugar control.

Yes u can. If the composition is same, then it means it’s the same medicine. Even government is promoting the same. So relax
