Vildagliptin & Dapagliflozin Tablets

Vildagliptin & Dapagliflozin Tablets. 

Dapagliflozin + vildagliptin is an antidiabetic drug employed to treat diabetes. It is prescribed for the treatment of Type II Diabetes. Type II Diabetes Mellitus is a long-term condition that affects the body’s metabolism of glucose or blood sugar. Insulin resistance or inadequate insulin production are the two primary factors of type 2 diabetes.

Dapagliflozin + vildagliptin includes Dapagliflozin (sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors) and Vildagliptin (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor), which exert their action by enhancing the levels of certain natural compounds that reduce blood sugar when it is elevated. Side effects of Dapagliflozin + vildagliptin include vomiting, nausea, dizziness, abdominal pain, headache, frequent urination, and allergic reactions. If these side effects continue or get worse, please see your physician.

Benefits:

• Dapagliflozin + vildagliptin is one of the anti-diabetic drugs administered to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus.
• Dapagliflozin facilitates the elimination of excess sugar from the body through urine.
• Vildagliptin increases insulin secretion in the presence of glucose, thus lowering fasting and post-prandial levels of blood sugar.
• The combination is less likely to induce hypoglycemia when compared with other anti-diabetic drugs, since their action is glucose-dependent.
• Dapagliflozin has been found to decrease the incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes and is possibly protective of cardiac health. 

Uses:

Dapagliflozin + Vildagliptin is applied in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Dapagliflozin enhances glucose excretion in urine and lowers blood glucose levels.
