How does REMO MV 500MG TAB work?

REMO MV 500MG TAB contains three active ingredients: Metformin (500 mg), Vildagliptin (50 mg), and Remogliflozin Etabonate (100 mg), which work together to regulate blood sugar.

• Metformin: Reduces glucose production by the liver, decreases sugar absorption from the intestines, and improves the body's sensitivity to insulin.
• Vildagliptin: A dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that increases the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreases hormones that raise blood glucose levels.
• Remogliflozin Etabonate: A sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that helps lower blood sugar by promoting the excretion of excess glucose through urine.
