Galvus Met 50Mg/500Mg Tablet used for

Medical history- i'm 56, female, diabetic since ten years approx. My fasting glucose remains around 240 while pp around 290. I've been taking medicines (galvus met 50/1000 mg and amaryl 2 -both bd) since long, but my sugar levels didn't show any significant changes and hence my doctor added vogliboz 0.3 tds to my regime (two weeks back). Last, I got my glucose levels tested yesterday and they are still the same, only a mild reduction registered. I walk 3-4 kms daily in the morning, apart from that I don't have any other physical activity on schedule. My last month's thyroid report- (t3/t4-normal tsh-low-0.21 iu/ml) i'm currently on thyroxine 75 mcg as well. Main problem- my toe nails have been showing an inward growth since an year or two, which has now started causing pain. I feel soreness in my left toe almost all the time, while it hurts insanely whenever it contacts any hard surface. Nailbed has become so thickened, that it is not possible for me to cut the toenail myself. What should I do to curb this problem? Also i'm having a little pain in my heels and ankles lately, but it is not much significant. And my doctor told me that I will need to switch to insulin, if my sugar levels remain the same after two months. Can I not be treated with oral drugs anymore?

From your history it sounds like you hv developed ingrown toe nai. Along with fungal infection of nail (onychomycosis). Correct diagnosis to be made only after proper examination. For acute pain you can take nsaids (like aceclofenac). Once the pain is subsided, you can cut the ingrown portion of toe nail (or removal of matrix of nail. For onychomycosis pulse dose of cap itraconazole is given along with topical (like cyclopirox olamine/ amorolfine lotion). Visit nearst dermatolgist. Thanks.

Yes it can be taken. But first get yourself evaluated for the reason for your hand pain. 6 months is a long period and a patient especially diabetic should not ignore such symptoms.

Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details. Please tell me why are you taking Vildagliptin as well as Linagliptin both? These are similar acting drugs. Only one is enough like Vildagliptin, which can be taken 50 mg twice a day. Or Linagliptin 5 mg twice a day. All gliptins as well as metformin can be taken just after food. Please stick to one gliptin only. Thanks.

Instead of increasing pioz dose, you can stop riomet at night and take t galvus met at night before dinner. Check sugar levels and you can follow up for further guidance privately.

Thanks for your Query. Your information is incomplete. For better advice you should give both FBS, PPBS and also HbA1c. Secondly you didn't mention the dose of Glycomet..!! Thirdly Galvus met should be taken twice daily for effective action. Let me know more details for complete advice. For any further information or advice you can book an online consultation with me on Lybrate. Thank you. Take care till then.

Hello Doctor I have been suffering from allergic bronchitis for Past two years and after taking medicines temporarily the problem is resolved. However as this is recurring disease I need medications so that this problem can be taken care of since as now there is a whistle like sound whenever I breath and keep throwing out a white colour clear phlegm, also my chest itches whenever I throw the phlegm out and there is a lot of chest tightness. Last time the infection was a little high and I was given Avil+Betnesol injection to get rid of the infection with montek LC and grilinctus syrup. As this has recurred again, could you please suggest some medicines which can help cure this problem of mine. I have been suffering from type 2 diabetes for last 3 years under medication of Galvus Met, lipicard 160 and amaryl 1 mg and my weight is 120 kgs and I my age is 30 years old. Have recurrent bouts of allergic rhinitis which is seasonal and goes away after few days. Other medical conditions include allergy from brinjal and fennel seeds as the upper portion of my mouth starts itching severely. Can confirm I do not have any other health issues.

Home Remedies To Ease The Irritation Caused By Bronchitis: Kali mirch is very useful to help get rid of nasal congestion. Drink giloy juice once in the morning and once in the evening every day for relief. Water helps reduce the swelling in the lungs and sooth the track. Tomato soup is extremely rich in vitamin C.
