Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Vsmall 50 Tablet 15. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Dizziness: Consider taking this medicine at night to avoid getting day time activities affected.

Vsmall 50 Tablet 15 contains Vildagliptin (50 MG), which influences the body as follows:

DPP-4 Inhibition: Vildagliptin functions by hindering an enzyme known as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). This enzyme typically breaks down certain hormones in your body that are associated with controlling blood sugar levels.
Blood Sugar Regulation: By inhibiting DPP-4, vildagliptin increases and prolongs the action of these hormones. This leads to two effects: it helps stimulate insulin release from pancreatic cells when needed (which reduces blood sugar), and it suppresses glucagon release from other pancreatic cells when not required (which prevents a rise in blood sugar). As a result, vildagliptin helps effectively manage both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetic patients.
