How It Works:
Vildamac M 50/500 Tablet contains two antidiabetic agents that work in different ways to control blood glucose:
- Metformin (500mg): It works by decreasing glucose production in the liver and increasing the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin, which helps the body utilize glucose more efficiently.
- Vildagliptin (50mg): It works by increasing insulin secretion in response to meals and decreasing glucagon release (a hormone that increases blood sugar), which helps lower blood glucose levels.
Together, these medications help lower blood sugar and reduce the risk of long-term complications associated with diabetes, including kidney damage, eye problems, nerve damage, and heart disease.
