1. Indications
   – Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: VILDAQUEST M 500MG TABLET is primarily indicated for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults who are unable to control their blood sugar levels with diet and exercise alone.
 
   – Dual Mechanism Support: It is used in patients who require a combination therapy to enhance glycemic control when monotherapy is insufficient.
 
   – Adjunct to Lifestyle Modifications: This medication is prescribed alongside proper diet and regular physical activity to improve blood glucose levels.
 
2. Benefits
VILDAQUEST M 500MG TABLET offers the following clinical and therapeutic advantages:
 
   – Improved Glycemic Control: Helps maintain blood sugar levels within the target range by addressing both insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity.
 
   – Low Risk of Hypoglycemia: Compared to some other antidiabetic agents, this medication generally has a lower chance of causing a sudden drop in blood sugar.
 
   – Weight Neutral: Unlike some antidiabetic medications that may lead to weight gain, VILDAQUEST M 500MG TABLET is generally weight neutral, which is beneficial for overweight or obese patients.
 
   – Complementary Action: The combination enhances both insulin secretion and reduces glucose production in the liver, providing a balanced approach to diabetes management.
 
3. Dosage and Administration
Proper usage is essential for maximum therapeutic effect:
 
   – Standard Dosage: Dosage is based on individual glycemic response and physician recommendations. Typically taken once or twice daily with meals to minimize gastrointestinal upset.
 
   – Administration: Tablets should be swallowed whole with water. Do not crush or chew the tablet.
 
   – Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it is close to the next scheduled dose. Do not double up doses.
 
4. Mechanism of Action
VILDAQUEST M 500MG TABLET works through a dual mechanism:
 
   – Enhances Insulin Secretion: Stimulates insulin production from the pancreas in response to meals, thereby reducing post-meal blood sugar levels.
 
   – Improves Insulin Sensitivity: Reduces hepatic glucose production and enhances peripheral uptake of glucose, particularly in muscle tissues.
 
5. Side Effects
Most patients tolerate VILDAQUEST M 500MG TABLET well, but some may experience:
 
   – Gastrointestinal Symptoms: Nausea, bloating, flatulence, or abdominal pain may occur, especially during the initial weeks of therapy.

   – Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Long-term use may reduce vitamin B12 absorption; monitoring is advised.
 
   – Lactic Acidosis (Rare): A rare but serious condition requiring immediate medical attention; symptoms include rapid breathing, muscle pain, or unusual tiredness.
 
6. Precautions
Careful consideration should be given to the following:
 
   – Kidney Function: Regular monitoring of kidney function is essential, especially in elderly patients or those with existing kidney conditions.
 
   – Alcohol Intake: Limit or avoid alcohol while taking this medication to reduce the risk of lactic acidosis.
