Vinglyn Tablet Substitute

Vinglyn Tablet contains Vildagliptin, an anti-diabetic drug that works by preventing the breakdown of incretin hormones, namely: glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) that control blood sugar levels. Thereby, it increases the levels of these two hormones. Vinglyn Tablet increases insulin production by the pancreas and decreases glucagon production by the liver. Thus, it helps to control blood sugar levels.

Yes, you may take Vinglyn Tablet with metformin. However, please consult a doctor before using Vinglyn Tablet with other medicines so that the dose may be adjusted appropriately.
