Gli 2 Met Tab — Uses, Dosage & Benefits

Glimepiride 2 mg + Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg (usually sustained/extended release; exact release type not specified)

Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin. Metformin (a biguanide) decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, helping the body use insulin better and reducing glucose absorption from the intestine.

Take by mouth as prescribed by the doctor, usually once or twice daily with meals to reduce stomach upset and risk of low sugar. Swallow tablet whole with water; do not crush/chew if it is a sustained/extended-release formulation. Monitor blood glucose regularly and follow diet/exercise advice.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
