Metformin is a medication from the class of biguanides, which works by decreasing glucose production in the liver and increasing insulin sensitivity in the body.
Vildagliptin is a medication from the class of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, which works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones in the body. These hormones help regulate blood sugar levels by increasing insulin secretion and decreasing glucose production in the liver.
The combination of these medications helps to lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, particularly in those who are unable to control their blood sugar levels with metformin alone or with vildagliptin alone.
The dosage and frequency of this medication will depend on the individual’s age, weight, and the severity of their diabetes. It is important to follow the instructions of a healthcare professional when taking this medication, and to report any side effects or adverse reactions.
Common side effects of this medication may include stomach upset, diarrhea, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). It is important to monitor blood sugar levels regularly when taking this medication, and to carry a source of glucose (such as candy or juice) in case of hypoglycemia.
