Vildagliptin 50 mg + metformin 1000mg Tablet Uses

This medication, Vildagliptin 50 mg + metformin 1000mg Tablet, is an antidiabetic used to manage Type-2 Diabetes by controlling blood sugar levels. It works by helping insulin, a hormone from pancreas, to move sugar into cells for energy use. Insulin also helps the liver and muscles store sugar as well as reduce the extra liver’s sugar production. Type 2 Diabetes occurs when the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin, or the insulin doesn’t work properly inside the body, as well as when there’s too much glucagon in the body. This combination of Vildagliptin 50 mg + metformin 1000mg Tablet is highly effective and helps manage type-2 diabetes well. Vildagliptin is a type of medication that blocks a certain enzyme called dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4), which normally breaks down the hormones called GLP-1 and DIP. These hormones GLP-1 and DIP help the pancreas to release more insulin after eating and lower the amount of glucagon. By blocking DPP-4, Vildagliptin increases the levels of these hormones, which helps keep blood sugar in control. Meanwhile, metformin is a type of formulation called Biguanide that lowers the amount of sugar made by the liver and makes the body’s muscles and fat tissues more sensitive to insulin. It also reduces how much sugar is absorbed from the gut, leading to lower blood sugar levels. Together in combination, this medication provides proper control over type-2 diabetes.
