Vildamac 50 Tablet

Description

Vildamac 50 Tablet is an oral antidiabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It is prescribed when diet and exercise alone are insufficient to control blood sugar. Vildagliptin, the active ingredient, belongs to the class of DPP-4 inhibitors, which work by:

• Increasing insulin secretion from the pancreas in response to meals.

• Reducing glucagon levels, which helps prevent excess glucose production by the liver.

It can be used as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic drugs, such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin. Vildamac helps improve fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels, supporting better overall glycemic control.
