Galvus Met 50/500mg tablets are a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. They contain a combination of two active ingredients, vildagliptin and metformin, which work together to lower blood sugar levels. 

Key information

  • Active ingredients: Each tablet contains 50 mg of vildagliptin and 500 mg of metformin.
  • Purpose: To improve glycemic (blood sugar) control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is used alongside diet and exercise when either vildagliptin or metformin alone is not sufficient.
  • Dosage: The typical dose is one tablet twice daily, taken with or just after a meal to reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Your doctor will determine the exact dose for you.
  • Pack size: This product comes in a pack of 28 tablets. However, note that pack sizes may vary by country, with some pharmacies offering 15-tablet or 30-tablet packs. 

How it works

The two active ingredients in Galvus Met work in different ways to help control blood sugar levels: 

  • Vildagliptin (50mg): This is a DPP-4 inhibitor. It works by increasing the body's natural production of insulin after a meal and decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
  • Metformin (500mg): This is a biguanide medication. It lowers glucose production in the liver, decreases the absorption of glucose from the intestines, and improves your body's sensitivity to insulin. 

Important safety information

Requires a prescription: This is a prescription-only medication and should only be used under a doctor's supervision.

Side effects: Common side effects can include nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is also possible, especially if used with other diabetes medications.

Serious warning (Lactic acidosis): In rare cases, metformin can cause a serious and life-threatening condition called lactic acidosis. The risk is higher for those with kidney disease, severe infections, or excessive alcohol intake. Contact a doctor immediately if you experience symptoms like deep or rapid breathing, severe vomiting, or persistent abdominal pain.

Contraindications: Do not take this medicine if you have:

                    -An allergy to vildagliptin or metformin.

                    -Severe kidney disease.

                   -Severe liver disease.

                    -Type 1 diabetes.

                    -Congestive heart failure.

  • Consult your doctor: Always inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking any other medications or supplements.
