1. Overview
This medicine is used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It is commonly prescribed when diet, exercise, and single medicines are not enough to maintain healthy glucose levels.
2. How It Works
It works through a three-way action: one ingredient helps the pancreas release insulin, another improves how the body uses 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 steady.
