About GlyNASE XL-5 Tablet
GlyNASE XL-5 Tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medicine used for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults.
The extended-release (XL) formulation ensures a gradual release of Glipizide, helping maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.
It is prescribed when diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications alone are insufficient to control blood sugar.
