The "Galvus Family" refers to a group of medications primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes. The main active ingredient in this family is vildagliptin, which helps control blood sugar levels by increasing insulin production and decreasing the amount of glucose released by the liver. These medications are often prescribed alongside diet and exercise to improve overall glycemic control. Galvus is the brand name for vildagliptin, and it may be available in combination with other diabetes medications, such as metformin. The Galvus Family is part of a class of drugs known as DPP-4 inhibitors, which are generally well-tolerated and can be an effective option for patients with type 2 diabetes.
