Galvus Met 50/1000mg is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. It is a combination tablet containing 50mg of vildagliptin and 1000mg of metformin. 

How it works

Galvus Met contains two active ingredients that work together to control blood sugar levels: 

  • Vildagliptin: This is a DPP-4 inhibitor that helps the pancreas increase insulin production and reduces the release of glucose from the liver.
  • Metformin: This is a biguanide that improves how the body uses insulin and decreases the amount of sugar produced by the liver. 

Who is it for?

Galvus Met is prescribed when diet, exercise, and treatment with either vildagliptin or metformin alone are not enough to manage blood sugar. It can be used alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic medications, including insulin. 

Dosage

The typical dosage is one tablet taken twice a day, with or after meals to minimize stomach upset. Your doctor will determine the exact dose based on your current blood sugar control and other medications you are taking. 

Potential side effects

Common side effects of Galvus Met include: 

  • Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain
  • Headache and dizziness
  • Trembling and fatigue
  • Swelling in the hands, ankles, or feet 

Rare but serious side effects include:

  • Lactic acidosis: This is a rare, but serious, buildup of lactic acid in the blood. Symptoms include deep, rapid breathing, muscle cramps, and abdominal pain. It is more common in people with kidney disease, severe infections, or excessive alcohol use.
  • Hepatitis: In rare cases, liver issues, including hepatitis, have been reported. Liver function should be monitored before and during treatment.
  • Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas has been associated with vildagliptin. Symptoms include severe and persistent abdominal pain. 

Important warnings and precautions

Before taking Galvus Met, discuss the following with your doctor: 

  • Allergies: Do not take if you are allergic to vildagliptin, metformin, or any other ingredient in the medication.
  • Medical conditions: This medicine is not recommended for people with severe kidney or liver disease, uncontrolled diabetes, Type 1 diabetes, or certain heart conditions.
  • Surgery: You may need to temporarily stop taking Galvus Met before a surgical procedure.
  • Alcohol: Excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of lactic acidosis.
  • Vitamin B12: Long-term use of metformin can cause vitamin B12 deficiency.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Galvus Met is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
