1. What is Galvus?
Galvus(Vildagliptin) is a member of a new class of oral antidiabetic agents known as dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors (DPP-IV) inhibitors or incretin enhancers. Galvus tablets contain the active ingredient vildagliptin and is used to treat type 2 or non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM). Each GALVUS tablet contains 50 mg vildagliptin, lactose anhydrous, magnesium stearate, cellulose – microcrystalline and sodium starch glycollate.
2. How does Galvus works?
Vildagliptin which is a type of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor is the active ingredient of Galvus and it works by increasing the amount of two incretin hormones found in the body, called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). GLP-1 or GIP will enhances the sensitivity of alpha cells to
glucose and causes cells in the body to remove sugar from the blood. GLP-1 also reduces the production of glucagon. Hence, they help control blood sugar (glucose) levels.
