Description
Ondero Met 2.5mg/500mg Tablet is a medicine used to control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It helps your body make better use of the insulin it produces and lowers the amount of sugar in your blood. Managing diabetes properly with medicines like Ondero Met can help prevent long-term problems affecting your heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves.
This tablet contains two active ingredients: linagliptin and metformin. Together, they work by increasing insulin release and improving insulin sensitivity. Metformin also helps reduce liver sugar production and slows sugar absorption from food, while linagliptin enhances the hormone that helps the pancreas produce more insulin when needed.
You should take Ondero Met 2.5mg/500mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken with food to avoid stomach upset. Taking it regularly at the same time each day helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and ensures the best results.
While taking this medicine, it’s important to follow a healthy lifestyle. Eat a balanced diet, limit sugary and fatty foods, and include regular physical activity such as walking or yoga. Also, avoid smoking and alcohol as they can affect blood sugar control and increase the risk of side effects.
Keep track of your blood sugar levels as advised by your doctor and attend all regular follow-up appointments. Proper use of Ondero Met 2.5mg/500mg Tablet, along with lifestyle changes, can help you manage your diabetes effectively and support overall good health.
