How it works

The brand name suggests a vildagliptin + metformin combination. Vildagliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) increases incretin levels, which increases insulin release and decreases glucagon in a glucose-dependent manner. Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, lowering blood sugar.

Directions for use

Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If this contains metformin, it is usually taken with meals to reduce stomach upset; swallow tablets whole with water and do not crush/chew if sustained/modified release. Maintain diet, exercise, and regular blood sugar monitoring.
