About Donaron-Met Tablet

Donaron-Met Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat diabetic dyslipidaemia (high cholesterol levels in diabetic patients) and poor blood flow. Also, Donaron-Met Tablet may be used to treat the polycystic ovarian syndrome. Diabetic dyslipidaemia is a condition associated with high levels of bad cholesterol (low- density lipoprotein), high triglyceride (a type of fat in the blood) levels and low levels of good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein) in diabetic patients.

Donaron-Met Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Metformin (antidiabetic) and Inositol nicotinate (vasodilator). Metformin works by reducing the sugar production by cells in the liver and delays sugar absorption from intestines. Also, it increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin which enables these cells to remove sugar more effectively from the blood. Inositol nicotinate works by widening blood vessels and lower cholesterol levels.
