Uses of Scodia SR 1000
Treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Benefits of Scodia SR 1000
- In Type 2 diabetes
- Scodia SR lowers the amount of sugar your liver releases and helps your body use its own insulin, so blood sugar stays in a steadier range through the day. Keeping sugar controlled over the years protects the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart from the damage diabetes causes.
How Scodia SR 1000 works
Scodia 1000mg Tablet SR works by lowering the excess glucose made by the liver and reducing the amount of glucose absorbed from food in the intestines. It also improves insulin sensitivity, which helps the body use insulin more effectively to move glucose from the blood into the cells for energy. This helps keep blood sugar levels under better control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
