Frequently asked questions
What is Galvus Met 50/500 used for?
Galvus Met combines vildagliptin 50 mg and metformin 500 mg in one tablet. It is prescribed for type 2 diabetes when metformin alone, with diet and exercise, does not control blood sugar.
Should I take Galvus Met before or after food?
With or just after a meal, usually breakfast and dinner. Taking it with food reduces nausea and stomach upset from the metformin part and matches the medicine to your blood-sugar rise after eating.
Galvus Met vs Janumet – what is the difference?
Both pair metformin with a DPP-4 inhibitor. Galvus Met uses vildagliptin and is taken twice daily; Janumet uses sitagliptin. They work similarly; vildagliptin needs liver tests during treatment. Your doctor chooses based on cost and your profile.
Does Galvus Met cause low blood sugar?
On its own it rarely causes hypoglycaemia. The risk rises if you also take glimepiride, gliclazide or insulin, or skip meals. Keep sugar or glucose tablets with you and know the warning signs.
