Product Description:
SUGAVILD® – M is a fixed-dose combination of Vildagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, and Metformin, a first-line insulin sensitizer. This dual-action formulation is designed for adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who are inadequately controlled on monotherapy. It provides sustained blood glucose control by addressing both insulin resistance and incretin hormone regulation, with a low risk of hypoglycemia and no weight gain.
Key Benefits:
-
Effectively lowers fasting and postprandial blood sugar
-
Enhances insulin sensitivity and pancreatic response
-
Low risk of hypoglycemia when not used with insulin
-
Weight-neutral and well-tolerated in long-term use
-
Ideal for newly diagnosed and early-stage type 2 diabetes patients
How it works:
-
Metformin works by reducing hepatic glucose production and increasing peripheral insulin sensitivity.
-
Vildagliptin inhibits DPP-4, preserving incretin hormones (GLP-1, GIP) that stimulate glucose-dependent insulin release and suppress excess glucagon.
Together, they offer synergistic control of blood glucose levels with excellent safety and tolerability.
How to use:
-
Take one tablet twice daily, preferably with meals, or as prescribed by your physician
-
Swallow whole with a full glass of water
-
Maintain proper diet, exercise, and hydration throughout treatment
-
Regular blood glucose and renal function monitoring is recommended
Safety Advice:
-
May cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort initially (due to Metformin)
-
Minimal risk of low blood sugar unless combined with sulfonylureas or insulin
-
Liver function should be assessed before starting and periodically
-
Stay hydrated to minimize GI and renal side effects
Precautions:
-
Not for use in type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
-
Use with caution in patients with renal or liver dysfunction, heart failure, or alcohol misuse
-
Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless clearly advised
-
Inform your doctor about all current medications and supplements
