modeOfAction

Mode of Action of Betorlan Sr Forte 1000 MG

How Does It Work?

  • Your pancreas produces a hormone called insulin. Insulin drives glucose (sugar) from the blood to enter inside the cell. Then this glucose is utilized as energy by the cell.
  • If you have diabetes mellitus, your pancreas either does not make enough insulin or your body is unable to use properly the insulin it produces (insulin resistance).
  • As a result, glucose is not able to enter into the cells and this leads to a high level of glucose in your blood.
  • Betorlan Sr Forte Tablet works by decreasing the amount of glucose absorbed from the intestine, lowering the amount of sugar created by the liver and facilitating the entry of sugar into the cells.
