Treviamet 50/1000mg Tablets (35 Count)
Treviamet 50/1000mg is a prescription combination medication used to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. Manufactured by Getz Pharma, this oral antidiabetic drug helps patients achieve better glycemic control when diet and exercise alone are not enough.
How Treviamet 50/1000mg Works
Treviamet combines two active ingredients that work in different ways to lower blood sugar:
- Sitagliptin (50mg): A DPP-4 inhibitor that increases the levels of natural substances called incretins. Incretins help to control blood sugar by increasing insulin release, especially after a meal.
- Metformin Hydrochloride (1000mg): A biguanide that helps your body respond better to the insulin it produces and reduces the amount of sugar your liver makes.
Benefits for Diabetes Management
- Improved Blood Sugar Control: Targets both fasting and post-meal glucose levels.
- Convenient Dosing: Combines two medications into one tablet, making it easier to manage your daily routine.
- Reliable Quality: Produced by Getz Pharma, a trusted name in the Nigerian pharmaceutical market.
Dosage and Administration
Treviamet tablets are typically taken twice daily with meals to reduce the chance of an upset stomach, which is a common side effect of metformin. Your doctor will determine the exact dosage based on your condition and response to treatment.
Treviamet Side Effects
Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, or a metallic taste in the mouth. These often improve as your body adjusts to the medicine. If you have concerns about "how long Treviamet takes to work" or its effects, you can consult a GoMed pharmacist for professional advice.
