Product Introduction

Lipaglyn 4mg Tablet contains Saroglitazar, an antidiabetic medicine that belongs to the class of dual peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists. It is primarily prescribed for the treatment of diabetic dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipid levels) and hypertriglyceridemia (elevated triglyceride levels) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus whose lipid levels are not adequately controlled with statin therapy alone. By improving both lipid and glucose metabolism, Lipaglyn 4mg Tablet helps reduce triglyceride levels and supports better metabolic health.
