Mechanism of action
Control Rx works by regulating the body's glucose metabolism, thereby reducing blood sugar levels. It does this by mimicking the action of incretin hormones, which stimulate the release of insulin and decrease the release of glucagon. This results in improved glycemic control and reduced risk of complications associated with diabetes.
