Frequently asked questions

When should I take Vildagliptin?
Vildagliptin can be taken before, with, or after meals. If prescribed once daily, take it in the morning. For twice daily dosing, take the first dose in the morning and the second in the evening.
Does Vildagliptin cause weight gain?
No, Vildagliptin does not cause weight gain. In fact, it may promote weight loss by increasing satiety and delaying stomach emptying, which helps reduce hunger.
