Eurepa MF 2 Tablet

Eurepa MF 2 Tablet belongs to a class of medicine known as an antidiabetic. It is a combination of two antidiabetic drugs: Repaglinide and Metformin. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong condition affecting how your body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or if the insulin is produced, it cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Due to this, the blood glucose level increases, and symptoms such as frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger start. It can lead to serious complications like skin infection, eye problems (retinopathy), nerve damage (neuropathy), diabetic foot (foot ulcer), kidney disease (nephropathy), high blood pressure, and even stroke.

Repaglinide acts by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. It starts acting so quickly on controlling blood sugar levels immediately after a meal. On the other hand, Metformin, which is a 'biguanide', acts by lowering the liver's glucose production, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines, and increasing the body's response to insulin. In a nutshell, the two medicines prevent blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your Diabetes under control.
