How it Works?

Renvilda M 500 Tablet contains the following components, each with a specific mechanism of action:

• Vildagliptin (50 mg): This ingredient inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), leading to an increased release of insulin from the pancreas and a reduced level of glucagon.

• Metformin (500 mg): This component reduces hepatic glucose production and decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, thereby contributing to lower blood sugar levels.
