Tenlimac M 500 Tablet SR

Tenlimac M 500 Tablet SR is a sustained-release medication designed to help manage type 2 diabetes by maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. It contains Metformin, an antidiabetic agent that reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin. The sustained-release formulation ensures a gradual release of the medicine, which helps keep blood sugar stable over an extended period and reduces gastrointestinal side effects compared to immediate-release tablets. Tenlimac M 500 Tablet SR is often used alongside lifestyle modifications such as diet, exercise, and weight management to achieve optimal blood sugar control. Regular use of this tablet can help prevent complications related to diabetes, including cardiovascular disease, kidney issues, nerve damage, and vision problems, while supporting overall metabolic health.
