FAQs

What does Bdid 500mg Tablet SR do exactly?

People with type 2 diabetes are not able to respond normally to the insulin made by their bodies. When this happens, the concentration of sugar/glucose increases in the blood. Bdid 500mg Tablet SR acts in several ways to reduce the increased levels of sugar in blood. Bdid 500mg Tablet SR decreases glucose production from the liver and decreases absorption of glucose from the intestine after taking food while improving the sensitivity of the body organs and muscles towards insulin. This helps improve the uptake of glucose from the blood. It also helps your body to respond better to the insulin it makes naturally.

Does Bdid 500mg Tablet SR cause weight loss?

Yes, Bdid 500mg Tablet SR has been shown to cause weight loss in people who are overweight or obese. It may also cause a modest loss in weight in those overweight and obese individuals who are at risk for diabetes. In addition, patients who are sensitive or resistant to insulin may also show weight loss. But, do not start taking this medicine for weight loss on your own. Consult your doctor for the same.

What are the benefits of taking Bdid 500mg Tablet SR?

Bdid 500mg Tablet SR is one of the first medicines that is given to patients with high blood sugar levels. It helps control blood sugar levels. It promotes the body’s response to the insulin made by the pancreas, decreases the amount of sugar made by the liver and decreases the amount of sugar absorbed by the intestines.
