Zipmet Pharmaceutical Information
Insulin is a hormone that is naturally made in the body by the pancreas. This helps control blood sugar levels. If your body does not make enough insulin to meet its needs, or if it does not use the insulin it makes effectively, it can lead to a condition called diabetes mellitus. People with diabetes need treatment to control the amount of glucose (sugar) in their blood;
Because good blood sugar control reduces the risk of further complications. Some people have their blood sugar controlled by making changes in their diet, but to control their blood sugar in others, medications such as Zipmet are prescribed along with dietary changes. Zipmet allows the body to make the most of the low levels of insulin found in type 2 diabetes.
Zipmet is a combination of cytagliptin and metformin, developed by Obaidi Pharmaceutical Company to control patients' blood sugar, and the use of combination drugs helps reduce the number of pills the patient takes. Zipmet plays an important role in increasing insulin secretion into the blood; It also helps control the blood sugar of diabetics in the most effective way by reducing the production of simple sugars by the liver, reducing the absorption of carbohydrates from the intestines, and helping to increase the sensitivity of cells to respond to insulin.
