About MINGLIP-50 TABLETS

MINGLIP-50 TABLETS belongs to a class of anti-diabetic drugs called 'dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4)' inhibitors used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone. MINGLIP-50 TABLETS may be used alone or in combination with other medicines. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that affects the way our body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, which is also known as adult-onset diabetes.

MINGLIP-50 TABLETS contains Vildagliptin which works by preventing the breakdown of a chemical messenger called the 'incretin' hormone. This hormone is released after the meal to stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas. MINGLIP-50 TABLETS increases the level of 'incretin' hormone so that sufficient insulin can be produced from the pancreas to lower raised blood sugar levels. Thus, MINGLIP-50 TABLETS helps in controlling blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus. 

Take MINGLIP-50 TABLETS as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you how often you take MINGLIP-50 TABLETS based on your medical condition. You may experience dizziness, nausea, headache, excessive sweating, low blood sugar levels, and trembling in some cases. Most of these side effects of MINGLIP-50 TABLETS do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to MINGLIP-50 TABLETS or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. MINGLIP-50 TABLETS is not recommended for children below 18 years of age. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are on dialysis, please inform your doctor before taking MINGLIP-50 TABLETS . Avoid alcohol consumption with MINGLIP-50 TABLETS as it may increase or decrease blood sugar levels. MINGLIP-50 TABLETS is not recommended for patients with diabetic ketoacidosis and type-1 diabetes. If you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis (excessive levels of blood acids called ketones),  or disease of pancreas, kidney, liver, or heart problems, inform your doctor before taking MINGLIP-50 TABLETS .
