Remogliflozin Etabonate (100mg) + Metformin (500mg)
Adults with type 2 diabetes are advised to use Sgltr-M for control of their blood sugar levels. It is typically used when diet, exercise, and other diabetes drugs are inadequate to lower blood glucose levels.
Combining Metformin (500 mg), a biguanide, with Remogliflozin Etabonate (100 mg), an SGLT2 inhibitor, helps control blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes. This combination is typically used when monotherapy is insufficient. The drug acts in two ways: increasing insulin sensitivity and promoting glucose excretion.

Sgltr-M is an SGLT2 inhibitor, remogliflozin etabonate, which lowers blood sugar levels by preventing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, thus encouraging glucose excretion via urine. Additionally, metformin helps control blood sugar levels by lowering liver glucose synthesis and increasing body sensitivity to insulin.
