Description

Product Description

Vildagard OD Tablet is an oral antidiabetic medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It contains Vildagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor that helps the body increase insulin secretion and reduce glucagon levels when blood sugar is high.

It is most effective when used along with a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
