Product description & overview
Glycigon-M SR Tablet: A Powerful Combo for Blood Sugar Management
Glycigon-M SR Tablet is a twice-daily oral dosage form containing the antidiabetic agents Gliclazide (80mg) and Metformin (500mg). This fixed combination provides comprehensive blood sugar control by addressing both insulin secretion and hepatic glucose production.
Gliclazide: A potent sulfonylurea that directly stimulates insulin release from beta cells in the pancreas, improving glucose uptake by target tissues.
Metformin: A biguanide with multiple mechanisms for glucose reduction, including inhibiting hepatic gluconeogenesis, reducing intestinal glucose absorption, and increasing insulin sensitivity.
Glycigon-M SR Tablet offers:
* Targeted blood sugar control: Ideal for managing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
* Consistent dosing: Provides a convenient and stable dosage regimen with sustained release technology (SR)
* Proven efficacy: Backed by comprehensive clinical trials demonstrating safety and effectiveness.
Important: Consult with your doctor before starting any medication, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are currently taking other medications.
