Diabetrol Tablet

Diabetrol Tablet belongs to a class of anti-diabetic drugs used in treating type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) condition affecting how the body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or the insulin produced cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance).

Diabetrol Tablet is a combination of two anti-diabetic drugs: Glyburide and Metformin. Glyburide works by stimulating beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Thus, insulin helps to remove sugar from the blood. Metformin reduces sugar production by cells in the liver and delays sugar absorption from the intestines. Also, it increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin which enables these cells to remove sugar more effectively from the blood. Together, Diabetrol Tablet helps treat type 2 diabetes.
