• Type 2 Diabetes: Helps control high blood sugar levels in adults when single antidiabetic agents are insufficient.
• Long-term Complication Reduction: Protects against diabetes-related damage to the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerve tissue.

Here are some steps to follow when taking Xilda M500 Tablet 15:

• Swallow the whole tablet with a glass of water.

Xilda M500 Tablet 15 is taken orally.

Xilda M500 Tablet 15 comprises two key components:

• Vildagliptin (50 mg): This component selectively inhibits an enzyme called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). DPP-4 breaks down natural substances called incretins that help control insulin secretion based on glucose levels in your body. Therefore, by inhibiting DPP-4, vildagliptin increases and extends incretin activity, resulting in better regulation of insulin secretion and lower glucose levels with minimal risk of hypoglycaemia.
• Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient reduces sugar production in the liver, decreases sugar absorption in the gut, and improves insulin sensitivity, which enhances glucose uptake and utilization by tissues like muscles.

These two components work together effectively to improve insulin sensitivity, reduce liver-produced glucose, enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion, and manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

• Keep Xilda M500 Tablet 15 in a cool, dry place.

• Incorporate foods rich in fibre and low in sugar into your diet to manage blood glucose levels effectively, aiding Xilda M500 Tablet 15's function.
• Regular physical activity, such as a brisk 30-minute walk daily, can improve insulin sensitivity and improve diabetes management.
