Medication name: Jalra 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 is prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet and exercise, and it may be used alone or in combination with other antidiabetic agents such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin.<\/p>\n
How it works:
\nThe active ingredient, vildagliptin, blocks the enzyme DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4), which normally breaks down incretin hormones.
\nBy inhibiting this enzyme, vildagliptin increases incretin levels, enhancing the pancreas\u2019s ability to release insulin after meals and reducing glucagon secretion.
\nThis helps lower blood glucose levels in a balanced, natural way without promoting excessive insulin release or significant weight gain.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration:
\nThe usual adult dose is 50 mg once or twice daily, depending on the combination therapy:<\/p>\n
Monotherapy or with metformin\/thiazolidinedione: 50 mg twice daily (morning and evening).<\/p>\n
With a sulfonylurea: 50 mg once daily in the morning.
\nSwallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food.
\nFollow your doctor\u2019s instructions carefully regarding dose and timing.<\/p>\n
Side effects:
\nJalra is generally well tolerated.
\nMild side effects may include headache, dizziness, nausea, or mild digestive upset.
\nRarely, elevated liver enzymes, swelling in the hands or ankles, or joint pain may occur.
\nSeek medical advice immediately if you develop persistent abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or severe fatigue, as these may indicate liver or pancreatic issues.<\/p>\n
Precautions:
\nDo not use if allergic to vildagliptin or any of the tablet\u2019s components.
\nConsult your doctor before use if you have liver or kidney disease, heart failure, or a history of pancreatitis.
\nRegular liver function monitoring is recommended during long-term treatment.
\nNot suitable for patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
\nUse during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if prescribed by a healthcare professional.<\/p>\n

\nStore below 25 \u00b0C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
