Medicinal Benefits

Peribite M 25 Tablet 10's is an anti-diabetic drug, indicated in the treatment of type 2 diabetes or non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM). This medicine is primarily prescribed to persons whose blood sugar levels are high and is even not controlled by diet and exercise alone. Peribite M 25 Tablet 10's consists of Acarbose and Metformin, used for controlling raised blood sugar in type 2 diabetes patients. Acarbose is an ‘alpha-glucosidase inhibitor’ responsible for the inhibition of intestinal enzymes that delays the digestion of carbohydrates taken through the meal. Metformin belongs to a group of medications called 'biguanides' that works by improving glucose tolerance in patients dealing with type 2 diabetes. It also reduces the intestinal absorption of glucose, and thus increases the utilization of glucose. Together it avoids the additional risk of disease associated with diabetes such as eye problems (diabetes retinopathy), kidney damage (diabetic nephropathy), nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy), diabetic foot ulcer, delayed wound healing and other diabetic complications.
