Composition (Each Film-Coated Tablet Contains):
-
Vildagliptin – 50 mg
Category: Diabetes Care / DPP-4 Inhibitor
Form: Oral Tablet
Pack Size: 10×10 Alu-Alu or Blister Pack
Product Description:
SUGAVILD®-50 contains Vildagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is effective both as monotherapy or in combination with metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin. Known for its glucose-dependent mechanism, it provides glycemic control without causing weight gain or significant risk of hypoglycemia.
Key Benefits:
-
Controls both fasting and postprandial glucose levels
-
Minimal risk of hypoglycemia when used alone
-
Weight-neutral profile
-
Well tolerated and suitable for long-term use
-
Can be safely combined with other antidiabetic medications
How it works:
Vildagliptin inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, which degrades incretin hormones such as GLP-1 and GIP. By prolonging their activity, it enhances insulin secretion and suppresses glucagon release only when glucose levels are elevated, resulting in effective and safe glycemic control.
How to use:
-
Take one tablet twice daily or as directed by your physician
-
Can be taken with or without food
-
Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew
