Ondero Met 850mg/2.5mg Tablet

Introduction

Ondero Met 850mg/2.5mg Tablet is prescribed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps lower high blood sugar by making the body more responsive to insulin and by decreasing the amount of glucose formed in the liver.

This medicine may be recommended alone or in combination with other antidiabetic treatments. It works best when paired with a healthy meal plan and regular physical activity. The exact dose is decided by the doctor depending on your health status, blood sugar levels, and other medicines you may be using.
