It helps in reducing insulin resistance and provides better control over blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

D-Bro 0.8mg Tablet should be taken with food within 2 hours after waking in the morning. Keep taking this medicine, even if you feel your blood sugar levels are controlled.

You should not take it if you have type 1 diabetes mellitus, if you have diabetic ketoacidosis (high levels of acid in your blood), or if you have severe kidney or liver disease. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it. Your blood sugar levels should be checked regularly and your doctor may also advise blood tests to monitor your blood cell counts and liver function.
