Vidagliptin 50 Tablet is taken orally.

Vidagliptin 50 Tablet contains Vildagliptin (50 mg), and it works on your body as follows:

• Blocks the DPP-4 enzyme: Vildagliptin works by inhibiting an enzyme called DPP-4 in your body. This enzyme typically breaks down hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), which are involved in regulating blood sugar levels.

• Regulates Blood Sugar: By blocking DPP-4, Vildagliptin extends the activity of these hormones, resulting in increased insulin secretion from the pancreas and decreased release of glucagon from the liver. This dual action aids in lowering both fasting and after-meal blood sugar levels.

• Store Vidagliptin 50 Tablet at room temperature, preferably not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep it protected from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Leave the tablets in their original packaging until needed, to safeguard against air exposure.

• Ensure you keep the medicine out of the reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date and avoid using any tablets past this date.

• Limit your intake of sugary foods and drinks: As Vidagliptin 50 Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes, reducing sugar consumption can help maintain better blood glucose control.

• Regular physical activity: Engage in regular exercise like brisk walking or cycling, which can improve your body's insulin sensitivity and aid in managing your blood glucose levels. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
