Description
Metliptin 50/500mg Tablet — Vildagliptin + Metformin for Type 2 Diabetes
Metliptin 50/500mg Tablet combines Vildagliptin 50mg and Metformin HCl 500mg for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This is typically the starting or lower-dose strength of the combination, suitable for patients initiating dual therapy or those requiring dose titration.
Vildagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that boosts incretin-mediated insulin release and reduces postprandial glucagon. Metformin works by reducing hepatic glucose production and improving insulin sensitivity. The combination provides effective and well-tolerated glycaemic control throughout the day.
