Dianorm Total 60 Tablet SR

Dianorm Total 60 Tablet SR is an oral anti-diabetic medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two active ingredients in a sustained-release (SR) formulation to help control blood sugar levels steadily throughout the day. This combination therapy works more effectively than a single medicine alone and reduces the risk of long-term complications like kidney damage, nerve issues, heart disease, and vision problems.

How It Works
Dianorm Total 60 Tablet SR contains:
