Product Description
Galvus Met 50/500mg Tablet is a combination oral antidiabetic medication that belongs to two drug classes: DPP-4 inhibitors and biguanides. It contains vildagliptin (50mg) and metformin hydrochloride (500mg). This dual-action formula helps manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes, especially when diet and exercise alone are not enough.
