Zilda Tablet 15 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.

• Since Zilda Tablet 15 is used to manage type 2 diabetes, you should stick to a diet low in sugar. This includes avoiding sweets, sugary drinks and high-carbohydrate foods.

• Regularly monitor your blood sugar levels as advised by your doctor. Keep track of your readings and make necessary lifestyle adjustments.
