Description
Galvus 50 mg – Type 2 Diabetes Blood Sugar Tablets
Product Overview
Type 2 diabetes blood sugar tablets, such as Galvus 50 mg, contain vildagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor used to help manage blood glucose levels. It works by supporting the body’s natural ability to regulate insulin and glucose. As part of a broader diabetes care plan, it can help maintain more stable blood sugar levels when combined with lifestyle measures.
How Galvus 50 mg Works
Vildagliptin blocks the DPP-4 enzyme, which normally breaks down incretin hormones. As a result, incretin levels increase. These hormones help the pancreas release insulin after meals and reduce excess glucose production in the liver. Consequently, blood sugar levels become easier to manage.
