1. Overview
This medicine is used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It is prescribed when diet, exercise, and single medicines are not enough to maintain healthy glucose levels.
2. How It Works
It works through three complementary actions: one ingredient helps the pancreas release insulin, another improves the body’s use of insulin and reduces sugar production by the liver, and the third slows down the absorption of sugar from food after meals. Together, these actions help keep blood sugar levels stable throughout the day.
