Zoryl MP 2 Tablet ER

Introduction

Zoryl MP 2 Tablet ER is an extended-release medication primarily used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two active ingredients – Glimepiride and Metformin – to help control blood sugar levels in patients who are unable to manage diabetes with diet and exercise alone. This combination works synergistically to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose production by the liver.
