Product description
Glycomet 250 mg is a member of a class of anti-diabetic medications known as biguanides that is used to treat diabetes. It contributes to the reduction of elevated blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic patients. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong disease that impairs our body’s glucose metabolism. Individuals with type 2 diabetes either produce insufficient insulin or the insulin produced is unable to work properly in the body (insulin resistance). Type 2 diabetes is most commonly found in middle-aged or older adults, which is why it is also referred to as adult-onset diabetes.
Glycomet 250 mg is administered to patients with type 2 diabetes who are unable to control their blood sugar levels by diet and exercise alone.
