Description:
Treatan 16mg contains Vildagliptin, an oral antidiabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Vildagliptin belongs to the DPP-4 inhibitor class and helps regulate blood sugar levels by increasing insulin release in response to meals and decreasing glucagon levels, which reduces excess sugar production by the liver. Treatan 16mg is used as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, including diet and exercise, to maintain healthy blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.
