Lobetron-0.5 Tablet 10's is used in the management of type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that affects the way our body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or the insulin produced is unable to perform its function in the body (insulin resistance).

Lobetron-0.5 Tablet 10's contains Lobeglitazone sulphate, which acts as an insulin sensitizer and works by binding and activating PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors) gamma within fat cells, making the cells more responsive to insulin. Thus, it reduces blood sugar levels.

Lobetron-0.5 Tablet 10's belongs to a class of medicines called antidiabetic drugs. It contains Lobeglitazone sulphate, an insulin sensitiser that works by binding and activating PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors) gamma within fat cells. Thus, it promotes insulin binding at fat cells, reduces blood sugar levels, lowers haemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) levels, and improves lipid and liver profiles. It reduces blood sugar levels by increasing insulin utilization by the body. Controlling blood sugar levels can help reduce the risk of complications of diabetes like eye damage, kidney damage, nerve problems., etc.
