Fordia 500mg Tablet XR lowers insulin levels, helping to balance hormones, regulate periods, and reduce these symptoms.<br><br>For type 2 diabetes, Fordia 500mg Tablet XR helps control blood sugar levels in three ways: it reduces the amount of sugar the liver makes, helps the body use insulin more effectively, and lowers sugar absorption from food. This helps prevent blood sugar spikes and manage diabetes better.
