FAQs

What does Weltill 1000mg Tablet SR do exactly?

Weltill 1000mg Tablet SR acts in several ways to reduce the increased levels of sugar in blood. Weltill 1000mg Tablet SR decreases glucose production from the liver and decreases absorption of glucose from the intestine after taking food while improving the sensitivity of the body organs and muscles towards insulin.
