Vildapin Plus 50mg+500mg Tablet, 1 Strip

✔️ Overdosing on Vildapin Plus can lead to lactic acidosis, a rare but serious condition associated with Metformin.

Symptoms may include:

• severe nausea or vomiting
• abdominal pain
• dizziness
• extreme tiredness
• difficulty breathing
• slow or irregular heartbeat

An overdose requires immediate medical attention. Treatment may involve hemodialysis to remove excess Metformin from the bloodstream.

To avoid accidental overdose, take only the prescribed amount and never double the dose, even if you miss one.

✔️ Best Time to Take Vildapin Plus

This tablet is best taken with meals to minimize stomach discomfort and enhance glucose control.

Once-daily dose: Usually taken with the largest meal (breakfast or dinner).

Twice-daily dose: Typically taken with morning and evening meals.

Taking the medication with food helps maintain stable sugar levels throughout the day and reduces digestive side effects.

Avoid skipping meals, as this can disrupt blood sugar balance while on this medication.

✔️ Recommended Dose of Vildapin Plus

The usual dosing schedule for Vildapin Plus is once or twice daily, depending on the patient’s condition and medical advice.

• Your dose may be adjusted based on factors such as blood glucose levels, age, eating habits, and other health considerations.
• Always follow the dosage prescribed by your doctor—do not increase, decrease, or stop the medicine without consultation.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew the tablet.

For best results, take the medicine at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood glucose control.

✔️ Should Vildapin Plus Be Taken With or Without Food?

Always take Vildapin Plus with food.

• This is particularly important because Metformin may cause stomach upset if taken on an empty stomach.
• Taking the tablet during meals improves tolerance, supports better absorption, and helps manage post-meal glucose spikes.
• Individuals with sensitive digestion may benefit from taking it with a balanced meal that includes protein and complex carbohydrates.
• Drink a full glass of water with the tablet, unless advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.

✔️ What to Do If You Forget a Dose

• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, preferably with food.
• If it is nearly time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose—do not take two doses together.
• Doubling the dosage may increase the risk of side effects, including stomach irritation or low blood glucose (especially when used with other antidiabetic drugs).
• Taking your tablet at the same time each day can help prevent missed doses. Consider using reminders or a pill organizer.
• If missed doses happen frequently, inform your doctor so they can help you adjust your routine.
