Vidzid 60mg Tablet XR is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It belongs to a group of medicines called sulfonylureas and helps control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Vidzid 60mg Tablet XR may be prescribed alone or along with other medicines. It should be taken with food. Take it regularly at the same time each day to get the most benefit. Your doctor will decide what dose is best for you and this may change from time to time according to how it works. Keep taking this medicine even if you feel well or your blood sugar levels are controlled. If you stop it without consulting your doctor, your blood sugar levels could rise and put you at risk of kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, and loss of limbs. Remember that it is only part of a treatment program that should also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight reduction as advised by your doctor. Your lifestyle plays a big part in controlling diabetes.
Vidzid 60mg Tablet XR is an antidiabetic medication. It works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas in order to lower the blood sugar levels.
When should I take Vidzid 60mg Tablet XR, and what are the best instructions to follow?
Take Vidzid 60mg Tablet XR as directed by your doctor, ideally before meals. Research suggests that taking it 30 minutes before breakfast can be particularly effective in controlling post-meal high blood sugar levels. If you're prescribed a once-daily dose, take it with breakfast and consume it with a glass of water.
How does Vidzid 60mg Tablet XR compare to metformin?
While both medications are used to treat type 2 diabetes, they work differently to reduce sugar levels. Vidzid 60mg Tablet XR stimulates insulin secretion by the pancreas, whereas metformin enhances the effectiveness of existing insulin in the body.
Can I take metformin and Vidzid 60mg Tablet XR together?
Yes, your doctor may have prescribed taking both medications simultaneously to manage uncontrolled sugar levels. However, be aware that combining them can cause low blood sugar, especially if you skip a meal, exercise excessively, or take it with insulin. Adhere strictly to your doctor's instructions to minimize complications.
