Description
VIGLIPTIN M 50/1000mg Tablets are a vital prescription-only medication available at Gathimaini Pharmacy in Thika, Kenya, used for the comprehensive management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Each tablet contains a fixed-dose combination of Vildagliptin 50mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 1000mg. This combination therapy targets multiple pathways to control blood sugar: Vildagliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) increases insulin release after meals and decreases glucagon production, while Metformin (a biguanide) reduces glucose production in the liver, decreases glucose absorption from the intestine, and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin. VIGLIPTIN M 50/1000mg is typically prescribed when diet and exercise, or monotherapy with either vildagliptin or metformin, are not sufficient to achieve adequate blood sugar control. It helps improve both fasting and post-meal blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of long-term diabetes complications.
