Vipidia 25mg Tablets, 28 Tablets

If you’re looking for a powerful way to control your blood sugar, Vipidia 25mg Tablets may be the answer. This medication contains alogliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor that helps keep blood sugar levels in check. If you have type 2 diabetes, this medication can help make controlling your condition much easier.

How does Vipidia work?

Vipidia works to increase the levels of insulin in the body after a meal and decrease the amount of sugar in the body. It must be taken together with other anti-diabetic medicines, which your doctor will have prescribed for you, such as sulphonylureas (e.g. glipizide, tolbutamide, glibenclamide), metformin and/or thiazolidinediones (e.g. pioglitazone) and metformin and/or insulin.

Vipidia is taken when your blood sugar cannot be adequately controlled by diet, exercise and one or more of these other oral anti-diabetic medicines. It is important that you continue to take your other anti-diabetic medicine, and continue to follow the advice on diet and exercise that your nurse or doctor has given you.

What is type 2 diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body does not make enough insulin, and the insulin that your body produces does not work as well as it should. Your body can also make too much sugar. When this happens, sugar (glucose) builds up in the blood. This can lead to serious medical problems like heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, and amputation.

  • Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood to become too high.
  • It can cause symptoms like excessive thirst, needing to pee a lot and tiredness. It can also increase your risk of getting serious problems with your eyes, heart and nerves.
  • It’s a lifelong condition that can affect your everyday life. You may need to change your diet, take medicines and have regular check-ups.
  • It’s caused by problems with a chemical in the body (hormone) called insulin. It’s often linked to being overweight or inactive, or having a family history of type 2 diabetes.

Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes

Many people have type 2 diabetes without realising. This is because symptoms don’t necessarily make you feel unwell.

Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include:

  • peeing more than usual, particularly at night
  • feeling thirsty all the time
  • feeling very tired
  • losing weight without trying to
  • itching around your penis or vagina, or repeatedly getting thrush
  • cuts or wounds taking longer to heal
  • blurred vision

You’re more at risk of developing type 2 diabetes if you:

  • are over 40 – or 25 for south Asian people
  • have a close relative with diabetes – such as a parent, brother or sister
  • are overweight or obese
  • are of south Asian, Chinese, African Caribbean or black African origin – even if you were born in the UK

Understanding your type 2 diabetes medication

Most people need medicine to control their type 2 diabetes.

The medicine helps keep your blood sugar level as normal as possible to prevent health problems. You’ll have to take it for the rest of your life.

Diabetes usually gets worse over time, so your medicine or dose may need to change.

Adjusting your diet and being active is also necessary to keep your blood sugar level down.

How to manage your diabetes

A healthy diet and keeping active will help you manage your blood sugar level. It will also help you to control your weight and generally feel better.

YOU CAN EAT MANY TYPES OF FOODS

There’s nothing you can’t eat if you have type 2 diabetes, but you’ll have to limit certain foods.

You should:

  • eat a wide range of foods – including fruit, vegetables and some starchy foods like pasta
  • keep sugar, fat and salt to a minimum
  • eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day – don’t skip meals

If you need to change your diet, it might be easier to make small changes every week.
