Is this medication good enough to controll?
Dear Sir / Madam, Welcome to HCM. The tablet given to your father is a combination of vildagliptin and metformin. Vildagliptin is a DPP IV inhibitor (One of the latest advancements in treatment of diabetes) and metformin is an age old time tested drug so this combination of newer and older drug is very good. With yoga, Good diet and this medicine your father will definitely show better response and his sugars should completely normalize in say 2-3 weeks. Wishing you all the very best..
