Generic Name Vildagliptin
Strength 50 mg
Indication/Usage Adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes
mellitus (T2DM).
• as monotherapy.
• as combination therapy
• initial combination with metformin when diabetes is not adequately controlled by diet and exercise alone,
• in combination with other medicinal products for the treatment of diabetes, including insulin, when these do not provide adequate glycaemic control
Dosage and Administration The management of antidiabetic therapy should be individualized.
The recommended dose is 50 mg once or twice daily. The maximum daily dose is 100 mg.
For monotherapy, and for combination with metformin, with a thiazolidinedione (TZD) or with insulin (with or without metformin), the recommended dose is 50 mg or 100 mg daily.
When used in dual combination with a sulfonylurea, the recommended dose of vildagliptin is 50 mg once daily. In this patient population, vildagliptin 100 mg daily was no more effective than vildagliptin 50 mg once daily.
For triple combination with metformin and a suflonylurea (SU), the recommended dose is 100
mg daily.
If tighter glycemic control is required on the top of the maximum recommended daily dose of vildagliptin, the addition of other antidiabetic drugs such as metformin, an SU, a TZD or insulin may be considered.
Method of administration
For oral use
Administer with or without meals.
The 50 mg dose should be administered once daily in the morning. The 100 mg dose should be administered as two divided doses of 50 mg given in the morning and evening.
If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as the patient remembers. A double dose should not be taken on the same day.
Warning and Precautions Vildagliptin (Galvus®) is not a substitute for insulin in patients requiring insulin. It should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis.
Drug Interaction Vildagliptin has low potential for drug interactions. Since vildagliptin is not a cytochrome P (CYP) 450 enzyme substrate nor does it inhibit or induce CYP 450 enzymes, it is not likely to interact with co-medications that are substrates, inhibitors or inducers of these enzymes.
