Mechanism of action

Vildagliptin inhibits DPP-4, an enzyme that degrades incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), thereby prolonging their action to stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion and suppress glucagon. When combined with CSII (insulin pump therapy), this dual approach provides both exogenous insulin delivery and enhanced endogenous insulin secretion, improving glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients.
