Metformin (500 Mg) + Vildagliptin (50 Mg)

Vildader Met 50mg/500mg Tablet 15 is primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. This combination medication falls into the class of oral anti-diabetic agents.

It is also prescribed for improved control of blood sugar levels in adults who have type 2 diabetes and cannot manage their condition via diet and exercise alone. The medicine plays a significant role in reducing both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels, thus lowering the risk of serious long-term complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, nerve problems, and vision loss.

Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications you're currently on. If you experience any side effects while taking this medication, notify your doctor immediately.

How Vildader Met 50mg/500mg Tablet 15 Works?

Vildader Met 50mg/500mg Tablet 15 comprises two key components:

Vildagliptin (50 mg): This component selectively inhibits an enzyme called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). DPP-4 breaks down natural substances called incretins that help control insulin secretion based on glucose levels in your body. Therefore, by inhibiting DPP-4, vildagliptin increases and extends incretin activity, resulting in better regulation of insulin secretion and lower glucose levels with minimal risk of hypoglycaemia.
Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient reduces sugar production in the liver, decreases sugar absorption in the gut, and improves insulin sensitivity, which enhances glucose uptake and utilization by tissues like muscles.
These two components work together effectively to improve insulin sensitivity, reduce liver-produced glucose, enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion, and manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
