Vildapride-M 50/500 mg Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Metformin (500 mg): As a biguanide antidiabetic medicine, metformin acts on multiple fronts to control blood sugar levels. It reduces glucose production in the liver, slows down glucose absorption from the intestines, and enhances your body's sensitivity to insulin.

• Vildagliptin (50 mg): This ingredient belongs to a class of medicines known as dipeptidyl peptidase4 (DPP4) inhibitors. Vildagliptin increases the levels of incretins, natural substances in your body that regulate blood sugar by enhancing insulin release after meals. Additionally, it also reduces the amount of sugar produced by your liver.

The combined action of these two ingredients provides better control over blood sugar levels than each component alone would offer.
