Oral Antidiabetic (DPP-4 Inhibitor + Biguanide Combination)

Product Information

VILDASMART contains Vildagliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) and Metformin (a biguanide). It is an oral antidiabetic medicine used to improve blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are insufficient.

Vildagliptin increases insulin release and reduces glucagon secretion from the pancreas.
Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver, reduces intestinal glucose absorption, and enhances insulin sensitivity by increasing glucose uptake and utilization.
Together, they provide complementary control of blood sugar levels.

VILDASMART is available in the strength 50 mg + 500 mg tablets.

Why is this Medication Prescribed?

VILDASMART is prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients whose blood glucose cannot be adequately controlled with lifestyle changes alone. It helps reduce the risk of long-term complications of diabetes, including heart disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage.
