Galvus 50mg tablets contain vildagliptin, a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. Each pack contains 28 tablets manufactured by Novartis. The tablets help control blood sugar levels by enhancing the body's natural ability to produce insulin when blood sugar is high. Vildagliptin belongs to a class of medications called DPP-4 inhibitors. It works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones in the body, which stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin when needed and reduce glucagon production. This medication should be taken as prescribed by your healthcare provider, typically once or twice daily. The tablets come in a white box with distinctive red Galvus branding. This is a prescription-only medication that requires regular monitoring by a healthcare professional.
