Uses & Benefits
Type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycaemic control, alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medicines along with diet and exercise
How It Works
Vildagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases incretin levels (GLP-1 and GIP), leading to glucose-dependent insulin release and reduced glucagon secretion. This lowers blood glucose with a low risk of hypoglycaemia when not used with insulin or sulfonylureas.
