Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i have been taking Amaryl and Metformin but on my last fasting test my doctor said my sugar was not controlled. She included Galvus. Does it cause weight gain? At 60, I don t want to put on any more weight. After menopause I have been struggling to keep my weight down as it is already
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can I can understand your. Galvus is having Vildagliptin. It is newer anti diabetic drug. It has no side effect of weight gain. So no need to worry for weight gain after starting Galvus. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
