VILTRACK 50MG TABLETS

VILTRACK 50MG TABLETS 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. VILTRACK 50MG TABLETS 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.

VILTRACK 50MG TABLETS 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. VILTRACK 50MG TABLETS increases the level of 'incretin' hormone so that sufficient insulin can be produced from the pancreas to lower raised blood sugar levels. Thus, VILTRACK 50MG TABLETS helps in controlling blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus. 

Take VILTRACK 50MG TABLETS as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you how often you take VILTRACK 50MG TABLETS based on your medical condition.

VILTRACK 50MG TABLETS contains Vildagliptin, an anti-diabetic drug used to treat type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone. VILTRACK 50MG TABLETS prevents the breakdown of incretin hormones, namely: glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) that control blood sugar levels. Thereby, increases the levels of these two hormones which are released after a meal. VILTRACK 50MG TABLETS increases insulin production by the pancreas and decreases glucagon production by the liver. Thus, it helps to control blood sugar levels and prevent further complications due to diabetes. Proper diet and regular exercise along with VILTRACK 50MG TABLETS , will give better results.
