Vilget-M

Introduction

Vilget-M 50mg/850mg is a combination anti-diabetic medicine containing Vildagliptin (50mg) and Metformin (850mg). Both work synergistically to control blood sugar levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Vildagliptin boosts insulin secretion while reducing glucagon (the hormone that increases blood sugar), whereas Metformin improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production from the liver. This combination is also beneficial in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), where insulin resistance plays a major role.

Key Features

• Dual-action formula: Vildagliptin + Metformin.

• Effective blood sugar control in Type 2 Diabetes.

• Improves insulin sensitivity.

• Also used in PCOS to regulate hormonal and metabolic balance.

• Helps prevent long-term diabetes complications.

Uses / Indications

• Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (adult-onset diabetes).

• Insulin resistance in PCOS.

• May be used in overweight diabetic patients to aid weight control.

How It Works

• Vildagliptin: Increases insulin release and suppresses excess glucagon.

• Metformin: Reduces liver glucose production and improves insulin response.

Together, they lower fasting and post-meal glucose levels effectively.

Doctor’s Review

Dr. Farah Siddiqui (Endocrinologist):
“Vilget-M is an excellent therapy choice for Type 2 Diabetes patients who need dual control of fasting and post-meal sugars. The combination of Vildagliptin and Metformin offers effective management while minimizing hypoglycemia risk. It is also helpful for PCOS patients with insulin resistance. Regular kidney function monitoring and adherence to lifestyle changes improve its effectiveness.”
