Zomelis Met 50mg/850mg Tablet contains two active ingredients that work together to manage blood glucose levels:

• Metformin (850 mg): This ingredient falls into the biguanide category of antidiabetic medicines. It reduces the production of glucose in the liver, lowers the absorption of glucose in your intestines, and boosts insulin sensitivity. This leads to increased glucose uptake and use in your body's peripheral tissues.

• Vildagliptin (50 mg): As a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, Vildagliptin increases the levels of incretin hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). These hormones stimulate the pancreas to secrete insulin in a glucose-dependent manner and reduce the secretion of glucagon, helping to lower blood glucose levels.

• Regular physical exercise like walking or cycling can help improve your body's insulin sensitivity, helping manage your blood glucose levels more effectively. Remember, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
