Zukanorm M Sr 500 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Vildagliptin (100 mg): This acts as a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, which means it blocks the enzyme that breaks down incretin hormones. By preserving these hormones, vildagliptin helps stimulate insulin release from the pancreas when blood sugar levels are high and reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver.

• Metformin (500 mg): This component decreases glucose production in the liver, reduces intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation in the body.
