Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Torglip M SR 500 Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Torglip M SR 500 Tablet contains two active ingredients that work together to manage blood sugar levels:

Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient works by decreasing glucose production in the liver, improving insulin sensitivity in your body's tissues, and enhancing the uptake and utilisation of glucose by cells.
Vildagliptin (50 mg): As a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, vildagliptin increases the levels of incretin hormones, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Incretins help manage blood sugar by increasing insulin release from the pancreas in response to meals and decreasing glucagon levels in the circulation.
