Diabetrol Tablet (Glibenclamide 5mg / Metformin 500mg)

Diabetrol Tablet 10’s belongs to a class of medicines called anti-diabetic drugs used in the treatment of 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 that affects the way the body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or the insulin produced is unable to perform its function in the body (insulin resistance).

Diabetrol Tablet 10’s is a combination of two antidiabetic drugs, namely: 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 works by reducing the 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 10’s helps treat type 2 diabetes.
