Both vildagliptin and teneligliptin (Tenglym) belong to the same class of medications, but they are not identical in how they are dosed or how your body processes them. Since your current regimen of vildagliptin 50mg twice daily is working so well, I strongly recommend consulting your doctor before making any changes. They can safely evaluate if a switch to teneligliptin 20mg is appropriate for you without disrupting your excellent blood sugar control.

Your blood sugar is well-controlled. Both Galvus 50 and Ibvilda contain the exact same active generic medication, vildagliptin. Because they are medically equivalent, it is generally very safe to continue taking the more affordable Ibvilda since it is working so well for you. I highly recommend letting your doctor know about this switch at your next check-up so they can update your records.

Galvus (which contains vildagliptin and metformin) is actually best taken with or just after your breakfast, rather than before. Taking it with food helps protect your stomach and reduces potential side effects like nausea. Please do not switch your medication on your own. It is very important to discuss any changes with your doctor, who can safely evaluate your progress and adjust your treatment if needed.

It is excellent that your blood sugar is well-controlled. Your current regimen consists of blood sugar regulators (Galvus 50 and Gluconorm G1 Forte), a blood pressure medication (Tazloc 40), and a cholesterol-lowering medication (Roseday). Normal readings indicate this combination is working effectively to protect your heart and kidneys. You should continue taking these medications exactly as prescribed. Do not stop or modify your doses on your own, as this can cause your levels to rise. Please consult your doctor for a routine follow-up and HbA1c test to safely evaluate if any adjustments are needed.

While Galvus (containing vildagliptin and metformin) and Istamet (containing sitagliptin and metformin) belong to the same family, they contain different active ingredients, and Galvus 50/1000 has a higher strength of metformin. Regarding how they work: they actually do both! One component helps your pancreas release more insulin when your blood sugar rises, while the metformin component helps your body?and your insulin shots?work much more effectively. Please discuss with your doctor before making any medication changes.

Your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, so better control is important to avoid complications. Focus on a balanced diet with less sugar and refined carbohydrates, include more vegetables, whole grains, and fibre, and avoid sugary drinks and junk food. Regular physical activity, like 30 minutes of walking daily, can help lower sugar levels. Take your prescribed medicines regularly and monitor your blood sugar at home. It is also important to follow up with your doctor, as your treatment or dosage may need adjustment to achieve better control.
