Safely Buy Galvus ( Vildagliptin ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

What Is Galvus Used For 

Vildagliptin is the active ingredient of Galvus; it is an anti-diabetic drug that belongs to the class of DPP-4 dipeptidyl peptidase-4. It is prescribed adjunct with proper diet and exercise to regulate glycemic level in the blood of patients with type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes or diabetes mellitus is when the body gets resistant to the insulin produced by the pancreas and does not use it well, leading to a build-up in the blood.  

Vildagliptin improves glycemic control by enhancing the glucose sensitivity of beta cells in the pancreatic islets and promotes glucose-dependent insulin secretion. It can also increase the insulin to glucagon ratio by increasing incretin levels; incretins are metabolic hormones that decrease glucose levels in the blood. This medicine is only prescribed when metformin, other medications, and exercise with diet do not adequately control blood sugar levels.
