Glucovance 500/5 mg tablets are a combination medication used to help control blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. This medication combines two active ingredients, glyburide and metformin, each with its own mechanism of action. Glyburide stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, while metformin decreases the amount of sugar produced by the liver and improves the body's response to insulin. By working together, these ingredients help regulate blood sugar levels effectively. Glucovance not only helps in managing diabetes but also reduces the risk of complications associated with high blood sugar levels. The tablets are easy to swallow and can be conveniently taken as part of a daily routine.
