About Sanomet GP 1 Tablet

Sanomet GP 1 Tablet 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 our body processes glucose.

Thereby, Sanomet GP 1 Tablet helps to control blood sugar levels.
