Glura M 500 Tablet contains two active ingredients that work in different ways to control your blood sugar levels:

• Metformin (500 mg): It Decreases Glucose Production. Metformin works by reducing the amount of glucose your liver produces. It also reduces the intestinal absorption of glucose and enhances the uptake and utilisation of glucose by peripheral tissues. These actions help to lower your blood sugar levels.

• Sitagliptin (50 mg): Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor. It helps to regulate the levels of insulin your body produces after eating. Stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin and reducing the amount of sugar made by the liver, it helps to keep your blood sugar levels in check.
