Eudaxen Tablets 50mg

Product Description

Eudaxen Tablets 50mg contain diazoxide, a medication used primarily to treat hypoglycemia caused by excessive insulin production. It helps raise blood sugar levels by reducing insulin release from the pancreas. In certain cases, it is also used off-label to manage severe hypertensive emergencies due to its ability to relax blood vessels.
