Product Introduction
Vildatin 50mg Tablet is an antidiabetic drug belonging to the class of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, containing the active ingredient Vildagliptin. This medication is indicated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes is a condition characterised by elevated blood glucose levels in the body, occurring when body cells become resistant to the effect of insulin. As a result of this insulin resistance, blood glucose levels in the body increase. In type 2 diabetes, the body either does not produce sufficient insulin, or the insulin produced is not utilised effectively. It is otherwise known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and since it typically occurs past middle age, it is also widely referred to as mature onset diabetes. If you suspect an allergy to the drug or its components, avoid taking the medicine. This drug is not recommended in individuals with diabetic ketoacidosis, a serious complication of diabetes caused by high blood glucose and the presence of ketones in the blood. Do not use if you are taking an anti-diabetic medicine known as sulphonylurea, if you are on dialysis due to kidney problems or liver disease, or if you have had heart failure or a history of pancreatic disease. Your doctor may need to adjust the drug dose when taking Vildatin 50mg Tablet together with other medications to prevent low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). This drug should not be used during pregnancy unless specifically advised by your physician. Notify your physician if you are pregnant, suspecting pregnancy, or planning for pregnancy.
