• Superior 24-hour glucose control

1. Take one Vilget 50mg tablet in the morning and one in the evening
2. Swallow whole with water – same times every day
3. Can be taken with or without meals
4. Continue lifelong unless doctor switches therapy

Q1: Why 50mg twice daily instead of 100mg once daily gliptins?
A1: Twice-daily gives smoother 24-hour DPP-4 inhibition and better post-dinner control.

Q2: Will it cause weight gain like some diabetes medicines?
A2: No – vildagliptin is completely weight-neutral.

Q3: How soon will my sugar improve?
A3: Fasting and post-meal levels start dropping within the first week; full HbA1c effect by 3 months.

Q4: Is it safe for elderly or mild kidney patients?
A4: Yes – no dose adjustment needed down to eGFR 30; one of the safest gliptins long-term.

Q5: Can I take both tablets together if I forget one?
A5: No – take the missed dose as soon as remembered unless it’s almost time for the next; never double up.
