JANMET 500 is a medication used for the management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two active ingredients: Metformin Hydrochloride, a biguanide that helps lower blood sugar levels by increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin, and Vildagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor that works by enhancing insulin secretion in response to meals and reducing excessive glucose production by the liver. This combination helps in better control of blood glucose levels, especially when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate control. JANMET 500 is typically used when single-drug therapy is not enough to manage blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
