1. Overview
This medicine is used to help manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It is commonly prescribed when diet, exercise, and simpler diabetes medicines do not provide adequate glucose control.

It works through a three-part action: one component helps the pancreas release insulin, another reduces sugar production in the liver and improves insulin use, and the third increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Together, these actions help maintain balanced blood sugar levels.
