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 decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, lowering blood glucose without usually causing hypoglycaemia when used alone.
