In brief
Vildagliptin inhibits DPP-4, helping the body’s incretin hormones remain active for longer. In type 2 diabetes, this supports glucose-dependent insulin release and reduces inappropriate glucagon secretion.
Common Use
Vsmall is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient to control blood glucose levels. It may be prescribed as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic medications such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin. The drug helps improve glycemic control by enhancing the body’s natural response to meals.
