Remo-V Tablet

Remo V tablet is a combination of remogliflozin etabonate and vildagliptin, used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes, especially when other treatments, such as metformin alone, are not enough. It helps improve blood sugar control, especially after meals and throughout the day. It should be taken as advised by your doctor, usually with or after food to reduce side effects, and always at the same time each day.

Remogliflozin works by helping your kidneys remove extra sugar from your body through urine, which may also lead to slight weight loss and lower blood pressure. Vildagliptin increases the release of insulin after meals and reduces sugar production in the liver, helping to maintain more stable blood sugar levels. These effects are most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity.

Common side effects may include constipation, diarrhoea, weakness, fever, and urinary tract infections. If you have any allergies to the ingredients, please inform your doctor before starting. If you miss a dose, take it with food as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose, then skip the missed one.

Do not take extra doses to make up for a missed dose. The medicine is generally safe with other common drugs for diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol, but it may slightly reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills and increase the risk of swelling when used with ACE inhibitors. It is also important to be cautious if you are using steroids, water pills, or cold medications, as they can affect how well this medicine works.

Avoid using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as its safety is not known in such conditions. Let your doctor know if you have liver or kidney problems, or if you feel very tired, nauseous, short of breath, or have stomach pain, which could be signs of serious side effects. If you notice skin rashes, foot issues, pain in the genital area, or signs of infection, please report them immediately.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

• Remogliflozin Etabonate is a medicine used to help lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It works by helping your kidneys remove excess sugar from your blood through urination. This helps reduce the amount of sugar in your body, which can lead to improved blood sugar control over time. It may also aid in weight loss and slightly lower blood pressure, which are additional benefits for many people with diabetes.
• Vildagliptin is a medicine used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It works by helping your body increase the amount of insulin released after meals and reducing the amount of sugar made by your liver. This helps keep your blood sugar more balanced throughout the day, especially after eating. Vildagliptin is most effective when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
