Viltas M & DM: For monotherapy resistant Diabetes Mellitus
How it works
Vildagliptin: In response to a meal, active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is secreted by the L cells of the intestines. Without the presence of vildagliptin, GLP-1 is rapidly inactivated and degraded by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4); when vildagliptin is present, vildagliptin binds to DPP4, allowing GLP-1 to remain active. Active GLP-1 causes the pancreas to increase insulin release and decrease glucagon release.
Metformin: Helps decrease hepatic (liver) glucose production, to decrease GI glucose absorption and to increase target cell insulin sensitivity. Also used as an adjunct to DPP-4 inhibitors, diet, exercise and lifestyle changes such as weight loss to improve glycemic (blood sugar) control in adults with type 2 diabetes
