Uses of Vildagliptin and Metformin Tablets
Vildagliptin and Metformin Tablets are a duo medication that combines Vildagliptin, which is a drug that blocks DPP-4, and Metformin, which is a type of Biguanide. It falls under the category of medicines used to treat Type 2 diabetes, formerly referred to as ‘non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)’ or ‘maturity-onset diabetes.’
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or the insulin it does produce doesn’t function properly. It can also happen if there’s an overproduction of glucagon. Insulin is a hormone that helps reduce blood sugar levels, particularly after eating.
Vildagliptin and Metformin Tablets can stimulate the liver to produce more sugar, increasing blood sugar levels. The pancreas produces both substances. This medication is formulated to manage blood sugar levels. It can achieve this by encouraging the pancreas to produce more insulin and less glucagon (the mechanism of vildagliptin), and by enhancing the body’s ability to utilize the insulin it has (the mechanism of metformin).
Though the medication carries numerous advantages, take the medication only after consulting with your doctor.
