Vilnip M 500 Tablet is taken orally.

Vilnip M 500 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient helps your body become more sensitive to insulin. It aids in effectively utilising circulating glucose in your body cells and reduces the amount of glucose that your liver produces.

• Vildagliptin (50 mg): Vildagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor. It increases insulin secretion from the pancreas by preventing the rapid breakdown of incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP, which are important for regulating blood sugar levels. Also, it reduces glucagon release from pancreatic alpha cells, thereby decreasing hepatic glucose production.

Together, these actions help lower overall blood glucose levels.

• Keep Vilnip M 500 Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 30°C.

• Store the medicine in its original container, tightly closed to shield it from light and moisture.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Make sure to use your Vilnip M 500 Tablet before the expiry date mentioned on the pack.

• Incorporate a balanced diet rich in fibre and low in sugar. This supports blood sugar control, which is crucial for managing type 2 diabetes, the condition treated by Vilnip M 500 Tablet.

• Regular physical activity, such as a brisk walk or cycling, can enhance the effectiveness of this medicine by helping to lower your blood glucose levels. Remember to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
