Vildagliptin hydrochloride is an oral hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and belongs to the DPP-4 inhibitor class. This component helps promote insulin secretion and lower blood glucose levels.

Vildagliptin hydrochloride inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme in the body, preventing the breakdown of incretin hormones. As a result, insulin secretion increases and blood glucose is effectively regulated.
