Basic Information On Eucreas
Eucreas tablets are a combination of two active ingredients: vildagliptin and metformin. Metformin belongs to a group of antidiabetic medication called biguanide. It helps in decreasing the sugar level in the blood. It not only helps in reducing the level of sugar produced by liver cells, it also helps in increasing the sensitivity of the muscle cells towards insulin. This substance also helps in delaying sugar absorption from the intestines into the bloodstream after having a meal. Vildagliptin belongs to the category of antidiabetic medication called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It works by preventing the breakdown of two incretin hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and reduces the sugar level in blood. It is a prescription medicine.

Eucreas Dosage
Depending on your existing dosage of metformin, Eucreas can be taken at 50 mg/850 mg or 50 mg/1000 mg strength 2 times every day (one tablet in the morning and one in the evening). Generally doctors recommend 100 mg of vildagliptin and 2000 mg of metformin hydrochloride to be taken daily.
