Zita-Met 1000mg/20mg Tablet ER

Description

Zita-Met 1000mg/20mg Tablet ER is an anti-diabetic medicine used in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It combines Metformin, which decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, with Teneligliptin, which enhances insulin secretion and reduces glucose output after meals. The extended-release (ER) formula allows for gradual release of the drug, ensuring steady blood sugar control throughout the day.

Uses

• Helps control blood sugar levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

• Reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney problems, heart disease, nerve damage, and eye issues

• Improves overall glycemic control when diet and exercise alone are not enough

How to Use
Take the tablet once daily with food or as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew. Maintain a proper diet and exercise routine along with the medication.

Dosage
The exact dosage depends on the patient’s blood sugar levels, medical condition, and doctor’s recommendation. Usually started at a lower dose and gradually increased. Do not stop the medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor.

Possible Side Effects
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, bloating, headache, dizziness, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and weakness or tiredness. Rare but serious side effects include lactic acidosis (muscle pain, trouble breathing, extreme weakness) and severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling).

Precautions
Avoid if you have severe kidney or liver disease, heart failure, or history of lactic acidosis. Use with caution in elderly patients. Avoid alcohol as it increases the risk of lactic acidosis and hypoglycemia. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless prescribed. Regular monitoring of blood sugar, kidney function, and HbA1c levels is advised.
