Wilda M 50/850 Tablet

Wilda M 50/850 Tablet is a medication that combines two active ingredients: Vildagliptin and Metformin. It is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus to help control blood sugar levels.

Description:

Wilda M 50/850 Tablet is an oral medication available in tablet form. It combines vildagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, and metformin, a biguanide antidiabetic agent. Vildagliptin works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones, which stimulate the release of insulin and inhibit the release of glucagon, thereby reducing blood sugar levels. Metformin works by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity in the body.

Uses:

Wilda M 50/850 Tablet is prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient to control blood sugar levels.
