Vildagliptin is a DPP4 inhibitor that increases the release of insulin from the pancreas. This combination is not recommended for patients under 18 years of age.

Yes, the use of Torglip M 50/1000 Tablet can lead to lactic acidosis, a medical emergency characterized by increased blood levels of lactic acid. This rare side effect is more likely to occur in patients with underlying kidney disease, old age, or those who consume large amounts of alcohol. Symptoms of lactic acidosis may include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, tiredness, feeling of cold in arms and legs, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or slow heart rate. If you experience these symptoms, stop taking Torglip M 50/1000 Tablet and consult your doctor immediately.
Can the use of Torglip M 50/1000 Tablet lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency?

Inform your doctor if you experience any persistent problems while taking this medicine.
