How it works
Vysov-M 50 mg/1000 mg Tablet is a combination of Metformin and Vildagliptin. Metformin works by improving the body’s response to insulin (a hormone that enables your body to use sugar) and decreasing glucose (sugar) production in the liver. This helps in lowering the increased blood sugar levels. Vildagliptin works by increasing insulin release from the pancreas and also increasing the activity of hormone (Glucagon like peptide-1) which helps to control blood sugar levels.
