Description
Vildagliptin is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is a DPP-4 inhibitor, meaning it works by inhibiting the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). This enzyme is responsible for breaking down glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), a hormone that enhances insulin secretion and helps regulate blood glucose levels. By inhibiting DPP-4, vildagliptin allows for increased concentrations of GLP-1 in the blood, effectively boosting its insulin-releasing effects and helping to regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.
