1. Overview
This medicine is used to help control high blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It combines two proven ingredients to support better glucose management when diet and exercise alone are not enough.
2. How It Works
It works in two ways: one ingredient helps the kidneys remove extra sugar through urine, while the other reduces sugar production in the liver and improves how the body uses insulin. Together, they help maintain more stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.
