Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Attend any monitoring appointments advised by your doctor. Report persistent or serious side effects to your doctor.

Management Of Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Vilu Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Headache: Try taking Vilu Tablet 10 after meals or with a full glass of water.
Dizziness: Consider taking this medicine at night to avoid getting day time activities affected.

Vilu Tablet 10 contains Vildagliptin (50 MG), which influences the body as follows:

DPP-4 Inhibition: Vildagliptin functions by hindering an enzyme known as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). This enzyme typically breaks down certain hormones in your body that are associated with controlling blood sugar levels.
Blood Sugar Regulation: By inhibiting DPP-4, vildagliptin increases and prolongs the action of these hormones. This leads to two effects: it helps stimulate insulin release from pancreatic cells when needed (which reduces blood sugar), and it suppresses glucagon release from other pancreatic cells when not required (which prevents a rise in blood sugar). As a result, vildagliptin helps effectively manage both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetic patients.
