Metformin 850mg + Vildagliptin 50mg

Product Introduction

Metformin + Vildagliptin 850mg + 50mg is a combination diabetes medicine used for type 2 diabetes. Metformin helps reduce sugar production and improve insulin response, while Vildagliptin helps increase insulin release after meals and reduce excess glucose release.

How to use

Take with food to reduce stomach upset. It is usually taken at regular daily timing. Do not crush SR or XR tablets. Taking it consistently helps maintain steadier blood-sugar control. Meal timing, glucose checks and other diabetes medicines should be kept consistent.

How it works

Metformin improves insulin sensitivity and reduces liver glucose production. Vildagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that helps increase incretin hormones, improving insulin release after meals. The combined effect is better fasting sugar, post-meal sugar or both.

Common side effects

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhoea, stomach discomfort, headache, dizziness and low blood sugar when combined with other diabetes medicines.

Important information

Extra caution is needed with kidney disease, liver disease, pancreatitis history, dehydration and combination therapy that may lower blood sugar. Keep glucose records and watch for symptoms such as sweating, shaking, confusion, unusual thirst or frequent urination.
