Vilget M Tablet 50mg/850mg is a combination antidiabetic medicine containing Vildagliptin and Metformin. It is prescribed to help control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet, exercise, or single medicines alone are not enough.

• Vildagliptin belongs to the DPP-4 inhibitor class and helps increase insulin release after meals while reducing glucagon levels.

• Metformin is a biguanide that decreases glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

This dual-action combination helps improve overall glycemic control and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve problems.
