What is Glimedose M2 Tab used for?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (in adults) when diet and exercise alone or single-agent therapy do not provide adequate glycaemic control

How Glimedose M2 Tab Works

Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) increases insulin release from the pancreas and improves insulin sensitivity. Metformin (a biguanide) reduces glucose production in the liver and decreases intestinal glucose absorption while improving peripheral glucose uptake.

Dosage & Directions

Oral tablet; take exactly as prescribed. Usually taken once daily with or just after food (often with breakfast) to reduce stomach upset and risk of low sugar. Swallow whole (do not crush/chew if modified-release); monitor blood glucose regularly.

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

Key Benefits

Lowers blood sugar
Improves HbA1c control
Controls fasting and post-meal glucose
Combination therapy in one tablet
Helps reduce diabetes complications with good control

Pregnancy

Not recommended; consult doctor (insulin is preferred in pregnancy)

Alcohol Interaction

Avoid (increases risk of hypoglycaemia and metformin-associated lactic acidosis)
