Valera M 1000 Tablet
Valera M 1000 Tablet 15’s belongs to the group of medications called ‘antidiabetic agents’ used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This medication improves glycaemic control in diabetic patients who do not react well to metformin alone. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic or life-long condition in which blood sugar or glucose levels rise more than normal.

Thereby, Valera M 1000 Tablet 15’s reduces sugar levels in the body.
