Vildagliptin belongs to the DPP-4 inhibitor class. It works by slowing the breakdown of incretin hormones such as GLP-1 and GIP, which help regulate glucose after meals.
These hormones stimulate insulin secretion from beta cells when blood glucose is normal or elevated.
GLP-1 also suppresses glucagon release, reducing hepatic glucose output.
By maintaining higher incretin levels, Vildagliptin enhances insulin release and reduces glucagon in a glucose-dependent manner, improving overall glucose balance.
