Jalra-OD 100mg Tablet SR is an oral antidiabetic medicine used to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults.
It contains Vildagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, which helps to control blood sugar levels by enhancing the body’s natural ability to regulate glucose.

How It Works

• Vildagliptin (100mg): Works by inhibiting the enzyme Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4).

• This increases the levels of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), which:

  • Stimulate insulin secretion in response to meals.

  • Suppress glucagon release, reducing liver glucose production.

  • Improve overall glycemic control without causing significant weight gain or hypoglycemia.
