HOW AVIGLIP MF WORKS?

AVIGLIP MF TABLET stimulates the pancreas to secrete more insulin (a hormone involved in glucose metabolism). It also makes our body more sensitive to insulin which helps in digesting the circulating sugars (glucose) in the blood, thereby reducing blood sugar levels. Additionally, it can also reduce the amount of glucose produced by the liver, and reduces its absorption in the body.

You’re doctor will decide the correct dose, and duration of therapy for you depending upon You’re age, body weight, and disease condition.
