About RIAX 5MG TABLET

RIAX 5MG TABLET is prescribed for the condition of type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone cannot control their blood sugar levels.

Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, so it is also known as adult-onset diabetes.
RIAX 5MG TABLET work by blocking the action of DPP-4 (an enzyme which destroys hormone ‘Incretin’). The enzyme ‘Incretins’ help to produce more insulin only when required and reduce blood sugar level produced by the liver when not needed.
