Medication name: Vdia Vildagliptin 50 mg Tablets \u00d7 28
\nDrug class: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor \/ Oral antidiabetic agent<\/p>\n
Use:
\nThis medication is used to control blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
\nIt helps improve insulin response and reduce excess glucose production when lifestyle measures such as diet and exercise are not sufficient.
\nVdia may be prescribed alone or in combination with other oral antidiabetic drugs, including metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin.<\/p>\n
How it works:
\nThe active ingredient, vildagliptin, inhibits the enzyme DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4), which breaks down incretin hormones.
\nBy blocking this enzyme, vildagliptin increases the activity of incretins, leading to enhanced insulin release from the pancreas and decreased glucagon secretion after meals.
\nThis helps stabilize blood sugar levels without significantly increasing the risk of hypoglycemia or weight gain.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration:
\nThe usual adult dose is 50 mg once or twice daily, depending on whether it is used alone or with other antidiabetic medications:<\/p>\n
Monotherapy or with metformin\/thiazolidinedione: 50 mg twice daily (morning and evening).<\/p>\n
With sulfonylurea: 50 mg once daily in the morning.
\nSwallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food.
\nAlways take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent control of blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n
