How Glimefort-M2 Pro Tablet works

Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) increases insulin release from the pancreas and improves glucose utilization. Metformin (a biguanide) reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, helping lower blood sugar.

How to take Glimefort-M2 Pro Tablet

Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily with the first main meal; swallow whole (do not crush/chew if SR/ER). Monitor blood glucose regularly and follow diet/exercise advice.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause severe and prolonged low blood sugar, which may lead to fits or unconsciousness.

Expert advice for Glimefort-M2 Pro Tablet

Take it shortly before a meal, and eat that meal. Check your sugar as often as your doctor has asked, especially when your routine changes. Take it with or just after food to reduce stomach upset. Keep taking it even when your sugar readings look normal — that is the medicine working. Continue your diet and physical activity; this medicine works alongside them, not instead of them.
