Vilget 50mg Tablets

Vilget 50mg Tablets contains Vildagliptin 50mg, a DPP-4 inhibitor for type 2 diabetes. Made by Getz Pharma Ltd, it is prescribed for type 2 diabetes. Pack size: 28 tablets.

Uses of Vilget 50mg Tablets

Vilget 50mg Tablets is used together with a healthy diet and regular exercise to control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. It can be taken alone when metformin is unsuitable, but it is more often combined with metformin, a sulfonylurea, a glitazone or insulin. Good blood sugar control helps reduce the long-term risk of damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart.

How Vilget 50mg Tablets works

Vildagliptin blocks DPP-4, an enzyme that breaks down incretin hormones released by the gut after meals. Higher incretin levels prompt the pancreas to release more insulin when blood sugar is raised and reduce glucagon, so sugar levels fall without a strong tendency to cause hypos on its own.

Possible side effects

Vilget 50mg Tablets is generally well tolerated. The side effects people most often report include:

• Dizziness
• Headache
• Tremor
• Nausea
• Swelling of the hands or ankles

Seek urgent help for severe, persistent stomach pain that may spread to the back, as this can be a sign of pancreatitis. Also report yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or blistering of the skin straight away.

Precautions and warnings

• Your doctor will check liver function before starting Vilget 50mg Tablets and at intervals during treatment.
• If you also take a sulfonylurea or insulin, low blood sugar can occur, so learn the warning signs and keep a sugary snack handy.
• Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney disease, heart failure or have ever had pancreatitis.
• It is not used for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
• It is not recommended in pregnancy or breastfeeding; your doctor may switch you to insulin.
