Product Description
GIBTULIO MET 500mg | 12.5mg is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Metformin Hydrochloride (500.00mg per tablet) and Empagliflozin (12.50mg per tablet). This combination is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus by controlling blood sugar levels. Metformin helps to lower blood glucose levels by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity.
