CompositionZucator M 500 Tablet is primarily used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is an antidiabetic medication that works in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular exercise to help control diabetes effectively.
This medicine helps improve your body's response to insulin, the natural hormone that regulates sugar absorption in your cells, thereby reducing high blood sugar levels. Additionally, it slows the absorption of sugar from food, which helps prevent sugar spikes after meals. Follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage, and inform them of any existing conditions or other medications you're using. Notify your doctor if you experience any side effects, and continue taking the medication as prescribed for the best results.
