Introduction About DIABETROL SR TABLET
DIABETROL SR TABLET is a combination of which belongs to the group of medicines called Antidiabetic agents. It is used in adults to manage type II diabetes mellitus along with diet and exercise. Â
Type II diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by abnormally high levels of glucose in the blood. It is caused due to inadequate production of a hormone called insulin (produced by pancreas to metabolize glucose) in the body or if the body cannot utilize the secreted insulin properly.
