Uses of Diavas Tablet
Benefits of Diavas Tablet
In Diabetes with high cholesterol
Diavas 500mg/1mg/10mg Tablet helps control diabetes along with high cholesterol. It contains anti-diabetic medicines that help to control high blood glucose (sugar) levels. It helps get rid of extra glucose from your body through urine.

Lowering the amount of cholesterol reduces the chances of heart diseases and helps you remain healthier for longer.

If you can control the level you will reduce the risk of getting any of the serious complications of diabetes such as kidney damage, eye damage, nerve problems, and loss of limbs. Taking this medicine regularly along with proper diet and exercise will help you live a normal, healthy life.
