Mechanism of Action

Vildagliptin:
Vildagliptin belongs to a group of medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors. It works by increasing the levels of natural hormones known as incretins, which help the body release more insulin after meals andreduce excess sugar production by the liver. This helps keep blood sugar levels under control.

Metformin:
Metformin works byreducing glucose production in the liver, mproving insulin sensitivity, and decreasing sugar absorption from food. It helps the body use insulin more effectively without causing sudden drops in blood sugar.

Combined Effect:
Together, Vildagliptin + Metformin provide better and balanced blood sugar control by improving insulin action and lowering sugar production, making it an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes.
