Benefits of Zemiglo Tablet

In Treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Zemiglo 50mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors (or gliptins).

This way it lowers the blood glucose levels in your body. It is usually taken once a day and has relatively few common side effects.

Lowering blood glucose levels is an essential part of managing diabetes. If you can control the level you will reduce the risk of getting any of the serious complications of diabetes such as kidney damage, blindness, and loss of limbs.

Taking this medicine regularly along with a proper program of diet and exercise will help you live a normal, healthy life. You should keep using it for as long as it is prescribed for long term benefits.
