Zomelis Met 50Mg/500Mg Tablet Health Feed

Mr Sooraj Kumar,, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the query, there is absolutely no information on glucose levels (fasting & PP) plus HbA1c%. Plus I also need to know dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, lipid profile (recent or earlier), serum creatinine and urea values, plus BP readings. On going through all those details only I will be able to give some opinion. Even in the present information
I not able to understand what is the meaning of " half mg of gliptin" as there...more

There could be several reasons of constipation. Vitamins generally have a mild laxative effect so that should not be the reason. I hope your thyroid profile has been done. If not please consult your treating doctor for the same. For constipation, take plenty of fluids, high fibre diet and hot milk at bedtime.

Metformin has been given for pcod. This condition may cause insulin resistance leading to high blood sugar. This drug helps to keep the insulin resistance normal thus helping in treatment of pcod. Letrozole has been given for ovulation.

Yes, there are alternatives to metformin. You need to talk to your doctor about intolerance to metformin and he or she can prescribe other medications.

Hello, thanks for the query.
There is no difference in terms of drug action with either of these tablets. It is just the different name given by each company. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
The forxiga (dapagliflozin) belongs to a comparatively newer class of drugs called sglt - 2 inhibitors. There are other similar molecules like campagliflozin, canagliflozin. I am not sure if any othese drugs are being considered by the insurance companies. You may check the same. If none of those molecules are covered then doctor may look at dpp - iv inhibitors like saxagliptin, vildagliptin, linagliptin and tenelegliptin as alternative. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Both Vildagliptin and metformin remain over 8 to 10 hours in the blood and tisues. Hence their action continues even during the post lunch period. Vildagliptin will produce its effect as well as metformin also. Thus glucose rise does get controlled with twice a day dosage. Thanks.

You can go for metformin and tenegliptin combination. Y you r not taking metformin ,me surprised. As there is no contraindications as per your history mentioned here.

lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
Madam you have mentioned quite a few drugs, which you want to take. Even though your glucose levels are too high, it is difficult to say whether you can all of these. The treatment for diabetes is not just taking a bunch of medicines which reduce glucose. Each medicine has a specific role and based on each patients needs the treating doctor decides how to begin the treatment. Plus it is also necessary to know patient's age, dietary habits, kidney functi...more
