Diabetes Mellitus
A disease in which the body’s ability to produce or
respond to the hormone insulin is impaired, resulting in
abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates and elevated
levels of glucose in the blood

Types Of Diabetes
Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or
insulin- dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in
which the pancreas produces little or no insulin.
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus Type 2 is a long-term
metabolic disorder that is characterized by high
blood sugar, insulin resistance
Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is
defined as any degree of glucose
intolerance with onset or first
recognition during pregnancy Muhammad Nauman Khalid

Galvus(Vildagliptin)
Best in Class DPP4 Inhibitor,
Incretin Based Therapy with low Risk of
Hypoglycemia and Wait Gain

What are Incretins?
 Hormones produced by the gastrointestinal tract in response to
incoming nutrients, and have important actions that contribute to
glucose homeostasis.
 Two hormones:
 - Gastric insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)
 - Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)

Half-Lives of GLP-1 and GIP

Pharmacology of Galvus
Mechanism of Action
Vildagliptin a member of islet enhancer class, is a
potent and selective DPP-4 Inhibitor that improves
glycemic control. Galvus inhibit DPP-4 results in
increased fasting and postprandial endogenous levels
of incretin hormones GLP1 and GIP.
Pharmacodynamics
In patients with type 2 diabetes , administration of
Vildagliptin led to inhibition of DPP4 enzyme activity
for 24- period.
The enhanced insulin/glucagon ratio during
hyperglycemia due to increase incretin hormones
levels results in a decrease in fasting and
postprandial hepatic glucose production, leading to
reduce glycemic levels. Muhammad Nauman Khalid
