What it Does

Vildagliptin is an oral antidiabetic medicine that works by:

• Inhibiting the enzyme DPP-4, which increases levels of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP).

• These hormones improve pancreatic insulin secretion and reduce glucagon release.

• The result is better blood sugar control, especially after meals.

Key Benefits

• Helps in lowering HbA1c levels.

• Provides good control of both fasting and post-meal glucose.

• Has a low risk of hypoglycemia (when used without sulfonylureas).

• Does not cause weight gain, often considered weight-neutral.

• Can be used alone or in combination with metformin, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, or insulin.
