- DIABETES : - Effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of a vildagliptin/metformin (50/1000 mg) fixed-dose combination tablet in healthy volunteers.
OBJECTIVE: Vildagliptin is an orally active, potent and selective DPP-4 inhibitor that improves glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes by increasing alpha- and beta-cell responsiveness to ...
- TYPE 2 DIABETES & INCRETIN SYSTEM : -Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
BACKGROUND: In type 2 diabetes mellitus there is a progressive loss of beta-cell function. One new approach yielding promising results is the use of the orally active dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) ...
