About Vilpower-50 Tablet 10's

Vilpower-50 Tablet 10's belongs to a class of anti-diabetic drugs called 'dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4)' inhibitors used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone. Vilpower-50 Tablet 10's may be used alone or in combination with other medicines. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that affects the way our body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, which is also known as adult-onset diabetes.

Vilpower-50 Tablet 10's contains Vildagliptin which works by preventing the breakdown of a chemical messenger called the 'incretin' hormone. This hormone is released after the meal to stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas. Vilpower-50 Tablet 10's increases the level of 'incretin' hormone so that sufficient insulin can be produced from the pancreas to lower raised blood sugar levels. Thus, Vilpower-50 Tablet 10's helps in controlling blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

If you are allergic to Vilpower-50 Tablet 10's or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Vilpower-50 Tablet 10's is not recommended for children below 18 years of age. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are on dialysis, please inform your doctor before taking Vilpower-50 Tablet 10's. Avoid alcohol consumption with Vilpower-50 Tablet 10's as it may increase or decrease blood sugar levels.
