Introduction About SEMI DAONIL 2.5MG TABLET

SEMI DAONIL 2.5MG TABLET contains Glibenclamide which belongs to the group of medicines called Antidiabetic agents. It is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus, when diet and physical exercise alone have not been able to control the blood sugar levels.
