Glyciphage SR 1gm Tablet – Sustained-Release Diabetes & PCOS Management

Glyciphage SR 1gm Tablet is a sustained-release formulation commonly prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and women experiencing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It helps regulate blood glucose levels and supports better insulin utilization, making it a key therapy for long-term metabolic and hormonal balance.

By lowering excess sugar produced by the liver and improving the body’s response to insulin, this medicine plays an essential role in preventing diabetes-related complications such as nerve damage, kidney issues, and vision problems. In women with PCOS, it helps restore hormonal balance, regularize menstrual cycles, and support reproductive health.
