How it works
Diamicron XR Mex 60/1000 Tablet ER is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines: Gliclazide and Metformin. Gliclazide is a sulfonylurea which works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas in order to lower the blood glucose. Metformin is a biguanide which works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from intestines and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.Diamicron XR Mex 60/1000 Tablet ER is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines: Gliclazide and Metformin.
