Product Description
Vildagard M 50mg/1000mg Tablet is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines—Vildagliptin and Metformin. This dual-action formula helps maintain blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient. Vildagliptin enhances the body’s insulin release after meals, while Metformin reduces sugar production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Regular use of this medicine helps prevent diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, and heart diseases.
