About Eglucent Mix 50 100IU/ml Suspension Injection 3 ml

Eglucent Mix 50 100IU/ml Suspension Injection 3 ml belongs to the class of medications called 'antidiabetics' primarily used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

On the other hand, in diabetes mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps decrease sugar levels in the blood) or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in large amounts leading to high blood glucose levels.
