Vildagliptin 50mg & Metformin Hydrochloride 500mg Tablets

Metformin + vildagliptin is a combination of Vildagliptin (DPP-4 inhibitor) and Metformin (Biguanides), which falls under the class of anti-diabetics. Type 2 diabetes mellitus was earlier referred to as ‘non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)’ or ‘maturity-onset diabetes. Type 2 diabetes arises if the body fails to generate adequate insulin or if your body’s insulin does not function properly as it ought to. It also arises when the body secretes excessive amounts of glucagon.

Insulin is a chemical that contributes to lowering the concentration of sugar in your blood, particularly after eating. Metformin + vildagliptin controls the level of blood sugar. It achieves this by causing the pancreas to secrete less glucagon and also by enabling the body to utilize its insulin more efficiently. You will need to keep up with the diet and exercise that have been prescribed for you while receiving treatment with Metformin + vildagliptin. Metformin+vildagliptin does not replace insulin. It does not treat type 1 diabetes (where you are not producing insulin) or diabetic ketoacidosis.
