Introduction to Edumin 25mg Tablet
Edumin 25mg tablet contains an active component of diazoxide. It belongs to the class of medications known as thiazides. This medicine is used when your blood sugar level is very low for a long period. This condition is known as intractable hypoglycemia, which causes low sugar levels in your blood due to an increased amount of the hormone insulin by the pancreas.
