Vylda OD 100 Tablet contains vildagliptin (100 mg), which affects the body in the following ways:

• DPP-4 Inhibition: Vildagliptin inhibits an enzyme known as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). This is important because DPP-4 usually breaks down hormones called incretins, which are crucial for managing blood sugar levels.
• Prolonging Incretin Activity: By inhibiting DPP-4 and thus preventing the rapid degradation of incretins, vildagliptin extends their activity in the body. This ensures that these hormones can stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin when blood glucose levels are high.
• Reducing Blood Glucose: Lastly, incretins also reduce the secretion of glucagon, another hormone produced by the pancreas. Glucagon encourages the liver to produce glucose, so by limiting glucagon secretion, vildagliptin helps lower glucose production and thus improves overall blood sugar control.
