Remogliflozin Etabonate on its own does not cause very low blood sugar. However, if Remogliflozin Etabonate is taken along with other diabetes medicines such as insulin, sulfonylurea or meglitinides, then you may experience hypoglycemia.

If you forget to take Remogliflozin Etabonate and the next dose is due after 12 hours, take it as soon as you remember and take the next dose at the scheduled time. However, if it is less than 12 hours until your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time. Do not take a double dose of Remogliflozin Etabonate to make up for a forgotten dose.

Remogliflozin Etabonate may cause excessive fluid loss or frequent urination, resulting in dehydration. Since furosemide also causes fluid loss, taking it with Remogliflozin Etabonate may cause fainting or loss of consciousness, unusual thirst, and lightheadedness or dizziness upon standing. Inform your doctor about furosemide before starting Remogliflozin Etabonate.

Yes, Vildagliptin may cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), but the chances are lesser as compared to other antidiabetic drugs. Evidence suggests that treatment with Vildagliptin has been shown to cause hypoglycemia in very rare cases. The risk is low even in those who are prone to hypoglycemia like elderly people or people being treated with insulin. However, the chance of hypoglycemia increases if Vildagliptin is taken along with other antidiabetic drugs.

No, Vildagliptin does not cause weight gain. Moreover, medicines, such as Vildagliptin, are generally supposed to decrease weight since they act by increasing satiety (feeling of fullness) and delaying emptying of the stomach. This further decreases hunger, restricting the patient from eating more than required.

No, Vildagliptin is not the same as Sitagliptin, but both drugs belong to the same class. Additionally, these two drugs have a similar mechanism of decreasing blood glucose levels.
