Usage

The active substance of Galvus, vildagliptin, belongs to a group of medicines called “oral antidiabetics”. Galvus is used to treat adult patients with type 2 diabetes. It is used when diabetes cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone. It helps to control the level of sugar in the blood. Your doctor will prescribe Galvus either alone or together with certain other antidiabetic medicines which you will already be taking. Type 2 diabetes develops if the body does not make enough insulin or if the insulin that the body makes does not work as well as it should. It can also develop if the body produces too much glucagon. Insulin is a substance which helps to lower the level of sugar in the blood, especially after meals. Glucagon is a substance which triggers the production of sugar by the liver, causing the blood sugar level to rise. The pancreas makes both of these substances. Galvus works by making the pancreas produce more insulin and less glucagon. Even though you are now starting a medicine for your diabetes, it is important that you continue to follow the diet and/or exercise which has been recommended for you. The use of Galvus in children and adolescents up to 18 years of age is not recommended. Swallow the tablets whole with some water.

Side Effects and Precautions

The common Galvus side effects may include trembling; headache; dizziness; nausea; low blood glucose; weight increase; swollen hands, ankle or feet (oedema); headache, chills, (feeling sick); heartburn.

Call your doctor right away if you have any of the serious side effects such as:
• Angioedema: swollen face, tongue or throat, difficulty swallowing, difficulties breathing, sudden onset rash or hives, which may indicate a reaction called “angioedema”;
• Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis): severe and persistent pain in the abdomen (stomach area), which might reach through to your back, as well as nausea and vomiting;
• Liver disease (hepatitis): yellow skin and eyes, nausea, loss of appetite or dark-coloured urine, which may indicate liver disease (hepatitis).
