DuromineTM weight loss for wellness
DuromineTM in obese pa�ents with T2DM:
DuromineTM may be used with cau�on
in pa�ents with diabetes6-8
Weight loss and metabolic improvements9
Diabetic Patient
FPG Reduction
Metabolic Improvements
Use in Diabetics
Response to insulin and oral hypoglycemic
agents may vary due to changes in dietary
habits while taking DuromineTM6
Weight loss may reduce the requirement for
diabetes medications7-8
T2DM: type 2 diabetes mellitus. FPG: fasting plasma glucose.
