About EXAPRIDE 250MCG STORTER KIT 1

EXAPRIDE 250MCG STORTER KIT 1 belongs to the class of 'anti-diabetic medicines' primarily used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). It is used as an adjunct to diet. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar levels. It occurs when the insulin (a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas) is resistant to breaking down the glucose to produce energy (insulin resistance) or when the pancreas (an organ behind the stomach) produces little or no insulin at all.

EXAPRIDE 250MCG STORTER KIT 1 contains Exenatide that belongs to the class of 'incretin mimetics'. Exenatide works by increasing insulin release from the pancreas during high blood sugar levels (after meals) and decreasing the amount of sugar the liver makes.
