1. Overview
This medicine is used to help manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It is usually prescribed when diet, exercise, and single medications are not sufficient to maintain healthy glucose levels.
2. How It Works
It works through a dual-action mechanism: one component stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, while the other helps the body use insulin more effectively and reduces sugar production in the liver. This combination helps maintain steady blood sugar levels throughout the day.
