Product Description
DIBIZIDE M is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Metformin Hydrochloride and Glipizide. Metformin Hydrochloride is an oral antidiabetic drug that helps regulate blood sugar levels by decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. Glipizide is a sulfonylurea medication that stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. DIBIZIDE M is prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient to control blood sugar levels.

This combination medication provides dual action to effectively manage blood glucose levels and maintain glycemic control.
