Glyvas 10 mg Tablet

Glyvas 10 mg Tablet contains Vildagliptin 10 mg. Prescription required.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (to help control blood glucose), usually as an add-on to diet and exercise; may be used alone or with other antidiabetic medicines as prescribed.

Vildagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases levels of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP). This enhances glucose-dependent insulin release and reduces glucagon secretion, lowering blood sugar with a low risk of hypoglycaemia when used alone.

Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed, at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow whole with water; do not crush/chew unless advised. Continue diet/exercise and monitor blood glucose as directed.

Headache, dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, constipation, upper respiratory tract infection symptoms, tremor (more likely with other antidiabetics), hypoglycaemia (when combined with insulin/sulfonylureas)

Use with caution in kidney or liver disease; periodic liver function tests may be advised. Stop and seek medical help if symptoms of pancreatitis occur (severe persistent abdominal pain), or if allergic reactions/skin blistering occur. Risk of hypoglycaemia increases when combined with insulin or sulfonylureas—dose adjustment may be needed. Not a substitute for insulin in type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Inform doctor if you have heart failure history.

Insulin and sulfonylureas (increased hypoglycaemia risk), ACE inhibitors (rare risk of angioedema reported with DPP-4 inhibitors), other antidiabetic medicines (additive glucose-lowering), drugs affecting liver function (monitoring advised)

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from moisture and direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
