Glytrin-Met Tablet ER

Product Introduction

Glytrin-Met Tablet ER is a prescription medicine used to help manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It combines the power of two active ingredients to effectively control blood sugar levels. By lowering glucose production in the liver, improving the body’s response to insulin, and stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, this medicine ensures balanced sugar control throughout the day. Its extended-release formulation provides steady action, which reduces the risk of sudden sugar spikes or drops. When taken alongside proper diet and regular physical activity, Glytrin-Met Tablet ER not only improves blood sugar levels but also supports long-term health by lowering the risk of diabetes-related complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves.
