Uses of Abvida M 50/500MG Tab

Type 2 diabetes mellitus—adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in adults, especially when metformin alone is inadequate

• •Lowers fasting and post-meal blood glucose
• •Improves insulin response in a glucose-dependent manner

• •Helps achieve better HbA1c control when metformin alone is insufficient

How it works

Vildagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases incretin hormones (GLP-1, GIP), enhancing glucose-dependent insulin release and reducing glucagon. Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, lowering blood glucose without usually causing hypoglycaemia when used alone.
