• Diarrhoea
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Abdominal pain
Renvilda M 1000 Tablet comprises two active components:
• Vildagliptin (50 mg): As a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, vildagliptin inhibits the enzyme DPP-4, which degrades incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP. Consequently, this action elevates incretin levels, augmenting insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in the presence of elevated blood glucose.
• Metformin (1000 mg): This agent reduces hepatic glucose production and decreases intestinal glucose absorption. It enhances insulin sensitivity by facilitating peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation. Combined, metformin and vildagliptin enhance the body's response to endogenous insulin, reduce hepatic glucose synthesis, and promote insulin-dependent glucose uptake in tissues.
