Galvus Met 50/500mg x 60 Tablets
Type 2 Diabetes Management • Dual Action Formula • Blood Glucose Control
Galvus Met 50/500mg is a combination oral medication indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains two active ingredients: Vildagliptin (50mg), a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases insulin release and decreases glucagon levels, and Metformin (500mg), a biguanide that reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity.
