Zomelis Met 50mg/500mg Tablet has two active ingredients which work together to manage blood glucose:

• Vildagliptin (50 mg): This ingredient is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. In simpler terms, it slows down the process that inactivates certain hormones in your body called incretins. These hormones help raise insulin levels and reduce glucagon (a hormone that raises blood glucose levels) when needed.

• Metformin hydrochloride (500 mg): As a biguanide, metformin works in three ways: it reduces sugar production by your liver; it decreases absorption of sugar from your intestines; and it makes your body more receptive to insulin, helping it use sugar more effectively.

The combined action of these two components leads to better control over blood glucose levels.
