Vilpower 50 Tablet is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is used together with a healthy diet and regular exercise to control blood sugar levels. Vilpower 50 Tablet is normally prescribed when diet and exercise alone or other medicines do not prove sufficient to control your blood sugar level. It may prescribe alone or in combination with other diabetes medicines. It can be taken with or without food. The dose will depend on your condition and blood sugar levels. Use it strictly as advised by your doctor.
Vilpower 50 Tablet is an antidiabetic medication. It works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreasing the hormones that raise blood sugar levels. This reduces the fasting and postmeal sugar levels.

Yes, Vilpower 50 Tablet may lead to hypoglycemia, although this is a rare occurrence.

However, the likelihood of hypoglycemia increases when taking Vilpower 50 Tablet alongside other antidiabetic medications.

No, Vilpower 50 Tablet is not the same as sitagliptin; however, both medications belong to the same class. They share a similar mechanism of action in lowering blood glucose levels.
