Glyset 50mg Tablet (Generic Equivalent)

Generic Glyset 50mg Tablet contains Miglitol as its active ingredient. It is used to treat type 2 diabetes in individuals. It may also be used for other purposes by your healthcare provider. Unlike regular diabetes medications, this medication does not boost insulin production. Still, it helps hydrolyze complex sugar compounds into glucose in the small intestine so that the patient’s body can absorb it. This leads to a delay in sugar absorption, allowing it to be processed by the available insulin in the body.
