WHAT IS PROGLUTROL 500 USED FOR
Proglutrol 500 is used to treat type 2
diabetes
mellitus
in
adults,
when
dietary management and exercise alone
does not result in adequate control of
blood sugar. Proglutrol 500 may be used
as monotherapy or in combination with
other oral antidiabetic agents or with
insulin.
HOW PROGLUTROL 500 WORKS
Proglutrol 500 belongs to a group of
medicines called biguanides.
It lowers high blood glucose levels by:
•
improving your body’s sensitivity
to insulin and restoring the way it
normally uses glucose
•
reducing
the
amount
of
glucose
your liver makes
•
delaying
the
amount
of
glucose
your intestine absorbs
