What is Glimefort-M1 Tab used for?

Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when diet and exercise alone (or single drug therapy) are insufficient; helps control high blood sugar and reduce diabetes-related complications.

How Glimefort-M1 Tab Works

Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that increases insulin release from the pancreas and improves peripheral glucose utilization. Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, lowering intestinal glucose absorption and improving glycaemic control.

Dosage & Directions

Take by mouth exactly as prescribed. Usually taken once daily with or just after a meal (preferably breakfast) to reduce stomach upset and risk of hypoglycaemia. Swallow tablets whole (do not crush/chew if modified-release). Monitor blood glucose regularly.

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