About the Product:
Vinglyn Tablet is a medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is typically prescribed when diet and exercise alone, or other diabetes medications, are not enough to control blood sugar levels.

It can be used alone or in combination with other diabetes medications, depending on your condition.
It is important to take Vinglyn regularly at the same time each day, as prescribed by your doctor, to achieve optimal results. Continue following your doctor’s recommended diet and exercise plan while taking this medication.

How It Works:
Vinglyn Tablet is an antidiabetic medication. It works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas and reducing the hormones that raise blood sugar levels. This helps to lower fasting blood sugar levels and control post-meal glucose spikes, making it an effective option for managing type 2 diabetes.
