Usage of Zomelis-DM 500 Tablet

Zomelis-DM 500 is a combination drug used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains three active components:

  • Dapagliflozin (10 mg): An SGLT2 inhibitor that increases glucose excretion through urine, thereby helping to reduce blood sugar levels.
  • Metformin (500 mg): A biguanide that increases insulin sensitivity while reducing hepatic glucose synthesis, thus aiding in blood sugar reduction.
  • Vildagliptin (100 mg): A DPP-4 inhibitor that increases insulin release and decreases glucagon levels, thereby helping to manage blood sugar levels.

Description of Zomelis-DM 500 Tablet

Zomelis-DM 500 Tablet SR combines three antidiabetic agents:

  • Dapagliflozin (10 mg): An SGLT2 inhibitor that enhances glucose excretion through urine.
  • Metformin (500 mg): A biguanide that increases insulin sensitivity and reduces blood sugar by decreasing liver glucose production.
  • Vildagliptin (100 mg): A DPP-4 inhibitor that lowers glucagon levels and increases insulin release, aiding in blood sugar regulation.

Possible Side-effects

  • Gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain

How to use Zomelis-DM 500 Tablet

  • Generally, one tablet daily, but follow your doctor's specific instructions.
  • Usually taken at the same time each day, with or without meals.
  • Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew or crush the tablet.

How Medicine Works

  • Dapagliflozin (10 mg): Reduces the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys, increasing glucose excretion in urine and reducing blood sugar levels.
  • Metformin (500 mg): Reduces glucose production in the liver and increases insulin sensitivity in muscle cells, thus lowering blood sugar levels.
  • Vildagliptin (100 mg): Inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, extending the effects of incretin hormones that promote insulin release and lower glucagon levels.

Related Warnings

Alcohol can increase the risk of hypoglycemia and affect blood sugar levels. While moderate alcohol intake is generally acceptable, monitor your blood sugar closely and consult your doctor for personalized advice.
