Prescription Required.Why?
A biguanide medication that helps lower blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing glucose production in the liver.
A dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (dpp-4) inhibitor that enhances the body's natural incretin hormones, leading to increased insulin release and decreased glucagon secretion.
Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults, particularly when metformin alone is insufficient to control blood sugar levels.
Intaglip M Od 1000 Tab (Metformin + Vildagliptin) work synergistically to improve blood sugar control. Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, while vildagliptin enhances the incretin effect, leading to increased insulin secretion and reduced glucagon release. This combined action leads to better glycemic control than either drug alone.
Store at room temperature (below 30°C), away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
