VILACT M 500 by PANACEA BIOTECH LTD
Salt Composition
Vildagliptin 50.00 mg + Metformin Hydrochloride 500.00 mg
Product Description
VILACT M 500 is a fixed-dose combination medication containing Vildagliptin and Metformin Hydrochloride. Vildagliptin is an oral antidiabetic agent that improves glycemic control by inhibiting the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). Metformin Hydrochloride, a biguanide, works by reducing glucose production by the liver and increasing the body's response to insulin. This combination medicine is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate glycemic control. It helps control blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of complications associated with diabetes. VILACT M 500 offers a convenient way to take both medications together, enhancing treatment adherence and effectiveness.
