Zuker MF Tablet is a combination medicine that works together to regulate your blood glucose levels. The tablet contains:

Gliclazide (80 mg): This component belongs to the class of sulfonylurea antidiabetic medications. It stimulates your pancreas to produce more insulin, which aids in lowering blood sugar levels. Additionally, gliclazide may also improve the sensitivity of your body's cells to insulin, resulting in better glucose control.
Metformin (500 mg): Metformin is a biguanide antidiabetic agent. It primarily works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by your liver. Additionally, it increases insulin sensitivity and enhances glucose uptake by your muscles, leading to further reduction in blood sugar levels. Importantly, metformin does not cause hypoglycemia or hyperinsulinemia when used alone.
