Medicinal Benefits:

  • Glicos-Pm2 Tab is effective in controlling blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 Diabetes.
  • It combines three complementary antidiabetic agents to provide comprehensive glycemic control when diet, exercise, or monotherapy is insufficient.

  • Metformin works by reducing the sugar production by cells in the liver and delaying 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.

  • This medicine ensures long-lasting glycaemic control, reducing the frequency of dosage. It also prevents unnecessary sugar spikes.
  • Glicos-Pm2 Tab manages blood glucose levels, thereby lowering the risk of complications such as nerve problems, kidney problems, eye problems, and cardiovascular disease.

Thereby, Glicos-Pm2 Tab helps to control blood sugar levels.
