Mechanism Of Action Of Vildagliptin

• Vildagliptin is an inhibitor of DPP-4, an enzyme that degrades the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Incretins help the body produce more insulin only when it is needed and reduce the amount of glucose being produced by the liver when it is not needed.

• Vildagliptin is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus:
• As monotherapy in patients in whom metformin is inappropriate due to contraindications or intolerance.
• In combination with other medicinal products for the treatment of diabetes, including insulin, when these do not provide adequate glycaemic control
