Product introduction

Ycyst M Tablet should be taken in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. It is to be taken with food, preferably at the same time each day. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

It may cause side effects like taste change, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, and loss of appetite. However, these are temporary and usually subside on their own. Please consult your doctor in case these do not resolve or persist for a longer duration.

Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any kidney, liver or heart problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it. Your doctor will check your kidney function tests before starting treatment with it. Avoid excessive alcohol intake while taking it as this may increase the risk of developing some side effects.

Uses of Ycyst M Tablet

Benefits of Ycyst M Tablet

Treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Ycyst M Tablet is a medicine that helps to control high blood glucose (sugar) levels. It helps get rid of extra glucose from your body through urine. Lowering blood glucose levels is an essential part of managing diabetes. It also contains alpha lipoic acid, a nutrient that protects the nerve tissues against damage from harmful chemicals, called toxins, in our body. If you can control the blood sugar levels, you will reduce the risk of getting any of the serious complications of diabetes such as kidney damage, eye damage, nerve problems and loss of limbs.
Ycyst M Tablet will reduce the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease if you have type 2 diabetes and already have cardiovascular disease. Taking this medicine regularly along with proper diet and exercise will help you live a normal, healthy life. You should keep using it for as long as it is prescribed because it is protecting your future health.

How to use Ycyst M Tablet

How Ycyst M Tablet works

Ycyst M Tablet is a combination of Metformin and Alpha Lipoic Acid. It works by improving blood sugar control and supporting metabolic balance in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metformin reduces excess glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin, helping glucose to be utilized more effectively. Alpha lipoic acid provides antioxidant support and helps reduce oxidative stress associated with diabetes, while also supporting nerve health. Together, they help maintain better glycemic control and support overall metabolic function.
