Glyxambi 10mg/5mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Glyxambi 10mg/5mg Strip Of 10 Tablets Description
Glyxambi Tablet is an anti-diabetic medication, used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a condition in which your pancreas does not make enough insulin to control blood s
ugar levels and your body is also unable to efficiently use its own insulin. This causes high blood sugar levels in your body, which can further lead to other health consequences like heart disease, kidney disease, blindness and decreased blood flow in your hands and legs. Glyxambi Tablet is a combination of two active substances- empagliflozin and linagliptin. These medicines work together to lower the raised blood sugar levels by improving insulin release. The excess sugar is excreated via urine. Take this medicine exactly as recommended by your doctor. It is important that you exercise regularly and have a balanced diet while taking Glyxambi Tablets for adequate control of your blood sugar levels.
