Description

• Galvus 50 mg Tablet 15's belongs to a class of anti-diabetic drugs called 'dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4)' inhibitors used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone. • Galvus 50 mg Tablet 15's may be used alone or in combination with other medicines. • Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that affects the way our body processes glucose. • People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). • Galvus 50 mg Tablet works by preventing the breakdown of a chemical messenger called the 'incretin' hormone. • This hormone is released after the meal to stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas. • Galvus 50 mg Tablet 15's increases the level of 'incretin' hormone so that sufficient insulin can be produced from the pancreas to lower raised blood sugar levels. • Thus, Galvus 50 mg Tablet 15's helps in controlling blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
