About Lyrato Pfs Catridge Injection 3 ml

Lyrato Pfs Catridge Injection 3 ml belongs to the class of anti-diabetic drugs, primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in children above 10 years and adults. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar levels.

Lyrato Pfs Catridge Injection 3 ml contains Liraglutide, a recombinant Deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA) which works by increasing insulin release from the pancreas during high blood sugar levels (after a meal) and decreases the amount of sugar the liver makes.
