Galvus (active ingredient: vildagliptin) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Galvus is used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise. It helps to lower blood sugar levels by enhancing the body’s natural ability to control blood glucose.

Galvus belongs to a class of drugs known as DPP-4 inhibitors (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors), which work by increasing insulin release and decreasing glucose production in the liver through the inhibition of the DPP-4 enzyme.

Galvus comes in the form of tablet to take it orally usually once in a month. Do not chew or break Galvus tablets as they are meant to be swallowed whole. Breaking or chewing the tablet may affect its efficacy and can lead to adverse effects.

The typical dose is one 50 mg tablet taken twice a day for Galvus brand, but dosing may vary depending on what other medications are being taken. If directed to take one dose per day, take it in the morning. For those directed to take two doses, take the first in the morning and the second in the evening. The vildagliptin tablets may be taken before, during, or after meals.

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearing the time for the next scheduled dose. Never take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.
