Glucovance 500/5Mg 30Tab

Glucovance is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as blood sugar reducers, helping to control blood sugar levels in patients. It contains a combination of two active substances that work synergistically to improve the body's response to insulin.

Glucovance works through two active ingredients: Glibenclamide, which stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin, and Metformin Hydrochloride, which reduces glucose production in the liver and increases insulin sensitivity in tissues. This combination helps improve blood sugar control, reducing the risks of complications associated with diabetes. Glucovance is used as part of a comprehensive system that includes diet and exercise.
