Tribet 1 Tablet ER

Description

Tribet 1 Tablet ER is a triple-combination oral antidiabetic medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines three different mechanisms to control blood glucose levels effectively:

• Glimepiride (1mg): A sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin.

• Metformin (500mg): A biguanide that decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity.

• Pioglitazone (15mg): A thiazolidinedione that enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity and helps cells use glucose more efficiently.

The ER (Extended Release) formulation ensures a steady release of the medicine over time, helping maintain consistent blood sugar control throughout the day.
