About Safgo Met 2/500mg
Safgo Met 2/500mg Tablet is a fixed-dose combination of Vildagliptin 2mg and Metformin 500mg used for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Vildagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that enhances incretin hormone activity, stimulating insulin release when blood glucose rises and suppressing excess glucagon. Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity, providing complementary dual-action glucose control with a low risk of hypoglycaemia.
Uses
Safgo Met 2/500mg is prescribed for adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus when single-agent antidiabetic therapy is insufficient to achieve adequate glycaemic control.
How to Use
Take with meals to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. Use as directed by your physician or pharmacist. Monitor blood glucose regularly as instructed.
