Hello Mr XXXXXXX Thanks for writing to HCM.

Vildagliptin has shown to cause pancreatitis but the incidence is very low and when you are on it you will be a monitored for the same. The use of vildagliptin and glargine doesn't amplify the risk in any way.

Let me know if you have any more queries regarding.
