FAQ's

Q. What is Prominad Tablet used for?

Prominad Tablet is used in adults with type 2 diabetes to lower blood sugar levels. It works best when used along with diet and exercise.

Q. Is Prominad Tablet the same as metformin?

No, Prominad Tablet is not the same as metformin. Prominad Tablet is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor whereas metformin is a biguanide. Prominad Tablet lowers blood sugar by causing the kidneys to get rid of more glucose in the urine.
