Galvus Met 50mg/850mg Tablet contains two active ingredients that work together to control your blood sugar levels:

• Vildagliptin (50 mg): This component works by increasing the levels of special hormones called incretins. Incretins help to stimulate the release of insulin and reduce the production of glucagon, a hormone that raises your blood sugar levels. By doing so, Vildagliptin helps your body react better to insulin and control the amount of sugar in your blood after meals.

• Metformin (850 mg): This ingredient is a biguanide that reduces the amount of glucose produced by your liver. It also reduces the absorption of glucose from your gut and makes your body more sensitive to insulin, improving its effectiveness. This combination helps to lower your blood sugar levels without causing an increase in insulin production, thus minimising the risk of very low blood sugar levels, also known as hypoglycemia.

• Follow a balanced diet low in simple sugars and high in fibre to help manage your blood sugar levels. This is crucial when you're taking Galvus Met 50mg/850mg Tablet for type 2 diabetes.

• Regular physical activity helps improve insulin sensitivity. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, every day. However, before starting any new exercise regime, please consult your doctor.
