Vildagliptin 2

Q. When should I take Vildagliptin 2?

You can take Vildagliptin 2 tablets before, with or after meals. If you have been prescribed to take this medicine once daily, then take it in the morning. In case you have to take it twice daily, then you should prefer taking the first dose in the morning and the second dose in the evening.

Q. Does Vildagliptin 2 cause hypoglycemia?

Yes, Vildagliptin 2 may cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), but the chances are lesser as compared to other antidiabetic drugs. Evidence suggests that treatment with Vildagliptin 2 has been shown to cause hypoglycemia in very rare cases. The risk is low even in those who are prone to hypoglycemia like elderly people or people being treated with insulin. However, the chance of hypoglycemia increases if Vildagliptin 2 is taken along with other antidiabetic drugs.

Q. Does Vildagliptin 2 cause weight gain?

No, Vildagliptin 2 does not cause weight gain. Moreover, medicines, such as Vildagliptin 2, are generally supposed to decrease weight since they act by increasing satiety (feeling of fullness) and delaying emptying of the stomach. This further decreases hunger, restricting the patient from eating more than required.
