How Torglip 50 Tablet Works
Torglip 50 Tablet contains Vildagliptin, an antidiabetic agent. It works by:
- Increasing insulin release from the pancreas in response to meals.
- Decreasing hormones (such as glucagon) that raise blood sugar levels.
As a result, Torglip helps to reduce both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels, improving overall blood glucose control.
