About the Product:
Ondero 5mg Tablet is an antidiabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps control blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are insufficient, and may also be used alongside other diabetes medications. By controlling blood sugar, Ondero can help prevent serious complications of diabetes, such as kidney damage, blindness, and nerve damage.
Ondero works by increasing insulin release after meals and reducing the amount of glucose (sugar) released into the blood, thus lowering blood sugar levels. It is important to continue following a healthy diet and exercise program while taking this medicine.

How Ondero Tablet Works:
Ondero 5mg Tablet belongs to a class of drugs called DPP-4 inhibitors (also known as gliptins). It works by increasing the amount of insulin your body produces after meals and decreasing the production of glucose by the liver. This helps lower blood sugar levels and improve overall glycemic control, both before and after meals.
