Introduction to Abvida M 50 mg/850 mg

Abvida M 50/850mg Tablet is a prescription medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It combines two antidiabetic agents: Metformin (850 mg) and Vildagliptin (50 mg). Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and enhances insulin sensitivity, while Vildagliptin increases insulin release and decreases glucagon levels, improving overall blood sugar control.

Abvida M 50/850mg Tablet helps prevent long-term complications associated with diabetes, such as kidney damage, nerve issues, and cardiovascular problems.

How Does Abvida M 50 mg/850 mg Work?

Abvida M 50/850mg Tablets is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines: Metformin and Vildagliptin. Metformin is an anti-diabetic medication (biguanide). It works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from intestines and increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Vildagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor which works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreasing the hormones that raise blood sugar levels. This reduces both fasting and post meal sugar levels. Together, they provide better control of blood sugar.
