How Does Mefomin GZ 80mg Tablets Works?
Mefomin GZ 80 Tablet is a combination of two anti-diabetic drugs: Gliclazide and Metformin. Gliclazide is a ‘sulfonylurea‘ which acts by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. On the other hand, Metformin, which is a ‘biguanide’, works by lowering the glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines and increasing the body’s response to insulin. In a nutshell, the two medicines prevent blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your Diabetes under control.
