About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Insuvil-M Tablet is a combination oral antidiabetic medication containing Metformin 500 mg and Vildagliptin 50 mg, indicated for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metformin, a biguanide, primarily acts by decreasing hepatic glucose production, improving insulin sensitivity, and enhancing peripheral glucose uptake, thereby aiding in glycemic control. Vildagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, enhances the levels of incretin hormones, which increase insulin secretion and suppress glucagon release in a glucose-dependent manner. The synergistic action of these agents helps achieve better glycemic control compared to monotherapy, reducing fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels. Insuvil-M is prescribed as an adjunct to diet and exercise when these measures alone do not provide adequate glycemic control. It is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, severe renal impairment, or hypersensitivity to its components. Common adverse effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and rarely, hypoglycemia when combined with other antidiabetic agents. Regular monitoring of renal function and blood glucose levels is recommended during therapy. Insuvil-M should be used under medical supervision with appropriate lifestyle modifications to optimize therapeutic outcomes.

About Vildagliptin
Vildagliptin is an anti-diabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which increases incretin levels and enhances insulin secretion. Vildagliptin is effective in managing blood sugar levels. Common side effects may include headache and nasopharyngitis, but these usually resolve over time. In summary, Vildagliptin is important for managing diabetes.
How It Works
Vildagliptin inhibits DPP-4, leading to increased levels of incretin hormones, which stimulate insulin secretion and decrease glucagon levels.
