Description
Metliptin 50/1000mg Tablet — Vildagliptin + Metformin for Type 2 Diabetes
Metliptin 50/1000mg Tablet contains a combination of Vildagliptin 50mg (a DPP-4 inhibitor) and Metformin HCl 1000mg (a biguanide) for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This dual-action formulation lowers blood glucose by stimulating insulin secretion and reducing hepatic glucose output.
Vildagliptin works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which increases active incretin levels. This promotes glucose-dependent insulin release and suppresses glucagon secretion. Metformin reduces intestinal glucose absorption and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity. Together, they achieve better glycaemic control with a reduced risk of hypoglycaemia compared to sulphonylureas.
Indications
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when diet and exercise alone are insufficient

Important Warnings
- Prescription medicine — use only under medical supervision

FAQs
What is Metliptin 50/1000mg used for?
It is prescribed to control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet, exercise, or single-medication therapy is not enough.
What is the difference between the 500mg, 850mg, and 1000mg strengths?
The difference is in the Metformin dose. The 1000mg strength is the highest dose and is used when stronger glycaemic control is needed.
Can Metliptin cause low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)?
This combination has a low risk of hypoglycaemia on its own, but the risk increases if combined with sulphonylureas or insulin.
How long does it take to see results?
Blood glucose levels usually begin to improve within a few days, but HbA1c improvements are assessed after 3 months of treatment.
Do I need any tests while taking Metliptin?
Yes. Your doctor will monitor kidney function (serum creatinine) and blood glucose regularly during treatment.
