How it works

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