Galvus 50 mg

Galvus is a prescription treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The active composition is vildagliptin, a new class of oral anti-diabetic agent that enhances the activity of incretin hormone through inhibition of DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4). The oral administration of this anti-diabetic agent results in inhibition of DPP4 activity which increases the amount of incretin hormone found in the body, namely GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide.  This, in turn, insulin sensitivity and reduces sugar level in the bloodstream. It is effective as a monotherapy in patients where the blood sugar is inadequately controlled by diet and exercise alone, and for whom treatment with metformin is inappropriate due to intolerance. Your doctor may also prescribe it as dual therapy in combination with another antidiabetic agent like metformin, sulphonylurea, and a thiazolidinedione in patients with insufficient sugar control despite treatment with a maximally tolerated dose of monotherapy with metformin. Vildagliptin is equally effective as triple therapy in combination with metformin and sulphonylurea when diet and exercise plus a dual combination anti-diabetic agent do not provide adequate glycaemic control. A diabetes patient may also receive Galvus 50 mg along with insulin when diet/exercise plus a stable dose of insulin is insufficient to manage diabetes. The medicine is a safe and effective new approach to target high blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes.
