₹162.75
Vildagliptin 50 mg Tabs- GA refers to the Genericart Vildagliptin 50 mg Tablet, which is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps control blood sugar levels when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Vildagliptin 50 mg.
- Brand/Distributor: Genericart (GA).
- Medication Class: Antidiabetic, specifically a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor.
- Primary Use: Management of type 2 diabetes in adults.
- Prescription Status: It is a prescription-only medicine and requires a valid prescription from a healthcare professional.
How It Works
Vildagliptin works by increasing the levels of “incretin” hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) in the body. This leads to:
- Increased insulin release from the pancreas.
- Decreased production of glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar).
- Improved sensitivity of pancreatic cells to glucose.
This combined effect helps to reduce both fasting and post-meal sugar levels.
Common Side Effects
Common side effects can include:
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Nausea
- Fatigue or weakness
- Upper respiratory tract infections
- Swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet (peripheral edema)
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), particularly when used with other diabetes medications like a sulfonylurea.
Important Precautions
- Pancreatitis: Use of vildagliptin has been associated with a risk of acute pancreatitis; patients should be aware of symptoms like severe stomach pain.
- Liver Function: Caution should be exercised in patients with liver disease, and liver function monitoring may be recommended.
- Kidney Function: It is not recommended for use in patients with severe kidney impairment.
- Alcohol: Alcohol consumption can increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taking this medication.
Always consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist for advice tailored to your specific health condition and needs.
