Points to Clarify

1. Active Ingredient: The description matches DPP-4 inhibitors, but the uses for rabies/cholera are atypical. Confirm if this is a combination drug or a labeling error.

2. Other Uses: Vaccines (e.g., polio, hepatitis A) are unrelated to diabetes treatment—may need correction.

For accurate use, always consult a doctor and verify the prescription details.
