Vilget 50mg (Vildagliptin) - 28 Tablets Pack

Vilget 50mg is an oral anti-diabetic medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Each pack contains 28 tablets of Vildagliptin, a potent and selective dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, manufactured by Getz Pharma.

How Vilget 50mg Works

Vilget works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which prevents the breakdown of incretin hormones like GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). These hormones are released by the intestine in response to food. By keeping these levels higher, Vilget:

• Stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin when blood sugar levels are high.
• Reduces the amount of glucagon (a hormone that causes the liver to produce glucose) being made.

This dual action helps stabilize blood glucose levels effectively throughout the day.

Benefits for Type 2 Diabetes Management

Unlike some older diabetes medications, Vilget (Vildagliptin) operates in a glucose-dependent manner. This means it primarily works when blood sugar is elevated, which significantly reduces the risk of hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar) and is generally considered weight-neutral.

Dosage and Administration

The standard dosage for Vilget is typically 50mg once or twice daily, depending on your doctor's prescription and whether it is used alone or with other medications like Metformin.

• Tablets should be swallowed whole with water.
• Can be taken with or without food.
• Note: Vilget is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). Always consult with a healthcare professional or a GoMed pharmacist before starting this medication.

Storage and Safety

Store Vilget in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the medication is kept out of reach of children. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose.
