Ondero Met 2.5mg/1000mg Tablet

Introduction

Ondero Met 2.5mg/1000mg Tablet is a combination treatment used for type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps lower high blood sugar levels by improving the effect of insulin and decreasing the amount of sugar made in the liver.

This medicine may be prescribed alone or along with other antidiabetic medicines. For best results, it should be taken regularly alongside a balanced diet and daily physical activity. The dose is based on your health condition, blood sugar readings, and other medicines you may be taking. Taking it with food can reduce stomach upset.
