Vildagliptin 50 mg + metformin 500mg Tablet Uses

This composition is a combination of two powerful full formulations Vildagliptin 50 mg + metformin 500mg which belongs to the group of medications called antidiabetics and are primarily used to provide proper control over Type 2 Diabetes. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that helps move sugar from your blood into your body’s cells to use as energy. It helps keep your blood sugar levels in check, especially after you eat. Insulin also helps your liver and muscles save sugar and stops your liver from making too much of it. Type 2 diabetes happens when your body doesn’t make enough insulin, or when your body’s insulin doesn’t do its job properly. It can also happen if your body makes too much glucagon. 

The combination of Vildagliptin 50 mg + metformin 500mg Tablet works very effectively and provides proper control over type 2 diabetes. Vildagliptin is a Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, that works by reducing the release of incretins (DPP-4 enzyme) and stopping it from doing its job, which is to break down incretin hormones. These hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) make the pancreas release more insulin when you eat and reduce the amount of glucagon. By stopping DPP-4, Vildagliptin boosts the amount of incretins, which helps keep blood sugar levels in control. On the other hand, metformin belongs to the group of medications considered Biguanide that works by reducing glucose production in the liver as well as improving insulin sensitivity in muscles and fat tissues. It also decreases the absorption of glucose from the intestine, resulting in lower blood sugar levels.
