Vildagliptin/Metformin hydrochloride Accord is a diabetes medicine that is used in addition to diet and exercise to improve control of blood glucose (sugar) levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is used:
in patients whose blood glucose levels are not adequately controlled by metformin alone;
in patients who are already taking a combination of vildagliptin and metformin as separate tablets;
together with other diabetes medicines, including insulin, when these medicines do not provide adequate control of blood glucose.
The doctor should carry out tests to check the patient’s kidney and liver function before treatment with Vildagliptin/Metformin hydrochloride Accord and at regular intervals during treatment.
The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription. For more information about using Vildagliptin/Metformin hydrochloride Accord, see the package leaflet or contact your doctor or pharmacist.
