1. Overview
This medicine is used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It is usually prescribed when diet, exercise, and single medicines are not enough to keep blood glucose within a healthy range.
2. How It Works
It works through three different actions: one part helps the pancreas release more 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. Together, these actions help maintain steady blood sugar levels.
