What does it do?

Vildagliptin is a diabetes treatment ingredient that belongs to the DPP-4 inhibitor class. It is used to promote insulin secretion and lower blood sugar. It is mainly utilized for blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Vildagliptin inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme in the body, preventing the breakdown of incretin hormones. This leads to increased insulin secretion and effective blood sugar control. It also acts only when blood sugar levels are high, thus reducing the risk of hypoglycemia.
