Diapride MS 2 Tablet

Description

Diapride MS 2 Tablet is a triple combination anti-diabetic medicine formulated to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It contains Glimepiride (2mg), Metformin (500mg), and Sitagliptin (50mg) — three active agents that work together to achieve comprehensive blood sugar control by acting on different mechanisms within the body.

• Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, stimulates the pancreas to produce and release more insulin.

• Metformin, a biguanide, reduces the production of glucose in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity.

• Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, increases incretin hormone levels, which promote insulin release and suppress excessive glucose formation after meals.

This unique combination helps regulate both fasting and postprandial (after-meal) blood sugar levels, lowers insulin resistance, and reduces the risk of diabetic complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, nerve problems, and vision issues.
