How GLZ Plus Tablet works
GLZ Plus Tablet is a combination of gliclazide and metformin. Gliclazide stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps lower the amount of glucose in the blood after meals. At the same time, Metformin reduces the production of glucose in the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin, allowing glucose to be utilized more efficiently by the muscles and other tissues. Together, they help maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.
