How Glidum MF 1 Tablet Works
Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) increases insulin release from the pancreas and helps lower blood glucose. Metformin (a biguanide) reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Together they improve fasting and post‑meal sugar control.
Dosage & Directions
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Usually taken once daily with breakfast or the first main meal; swallow whole with water. Metformin-containing tablets are best taken with food to reduce stomach upset; do not skip meals to reduce risk of low sugar.
Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
