A biguanide drug that improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production by the liver.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially in patients who haven't achieved adequate blood sugar control with metformin alone.
Treatment of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Zilmet 30mg/500mg Tablet (Gliclazide + Metformin) work synergistically to lower blood glucose levels. Gliclazide increases insulin secretion from the pancreas, while metformin enhances insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues and reduces hepatic glucose production. This combined action leads to improved glycemic control.
