Sukkarto SR is a brand name for a medication primarily used in the management and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The "SR" in its name stands for "Sustained Release," indicating that the medication is formulated to release its active ingredient gradually over time to maintain a more consistent blood glucose-lowering effect throughout the day. The active ingredient in Sukkarto SR is metformin hydrochloride, which belongs to a class of medications known as biguanides. Metformin works by improving the sensitivity of body tissues to insulin, thereby facilitating more effective glucose uptake by cells, reducing glucose production by the liver, and ultimately helping to control blood sugar levels. It is often prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet and exercise.
