1. Overview
This medicine is used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It is usually prescribed when lifestyle changes and single diabetes medicines are not enough to manage glucose levels effectively.
2. How It Works
It works through three complementary actions: one component helps the body release more insulin, another improves how the body responds to insulin and reduces sugar production in the liver, and the third slows down the absorption of sugar from food after meals. Together, these actions help keep blood sugar levels stable.
3. Common Uses
- Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus
- Control of fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels
- Support when single or dual therapy is insufficient
- Long-term glucose control along with diet and exercise
4. Key Benefits
