WHAT ZOMARIST IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substances of Zomarist, vildagliptin and metformin, belong
to a group of medicines called
“oral antidiabetics”.
Zomarist is used to treat adult patients with type 2 diabetes. This
type of diabetes is also known as
non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Zomarist is used when
diabetes cannot be controlled by diet
and exercise alone and/or with other medicines used to treat diabetes
(insulin or sulphonylureas).
Type 2 diabetes develops if the body does not make enough insulin or
if the insulin that the body
makes does not work as well as it should. It can also develop if the
body produces too much glucagon.

blood, especially after meals. Glucagon triggers the liver to make
sugar, causing the blood sugar level
to rise.
HOW ZOMARIST WORKS

the level of sugar in the blood. The
substance vildagliptin works by making the pancreas p
