Uses of Glimevel-Mv2 Tablet

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (adult) when blood sugar is not adequately controlled with diet/exercise and/or single or dual oral antidiabetic therapy; helps control post‑meal and fasting blood glucose.

Key benefits

• Controls fasting and post‑meal blood sugar
• Improves insulin secretion and sensitivity
• Reduces glucose absorption from meals
• Helps lower HbA1c with combination therapy

How Glimevel-Mv2 Tablet works

Glimepiride (sulfonylurea) increases insulin release from the pancreas. Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Voglibose (alpha‑glucosidase inhibitor) delays carbohydrate absorption in the intestine, reducing post‑meal sugar spikes.

How to take Glimevel-Mv2 Tablet

Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily with the first main meal (or as advised). Swallow whole with water; do not skip meals to reduce risk of low blood sugar. Regularly monitor blood glucose and follow diet/exercise plan.

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

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.

It can cause a dangerous build-up of acid in the blood, with vomiting, severe weakness and laboured breathing. It may cause low blood sugar and marked stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Safety advice for Glimevel-Mv2 Tablet

Warnings and precautions

Risk of hypoglycaemia (more likely with missed meals, heavy exercise, alcohol, elderly, kidney/liver impairment); carry glucose source. Metformin may rarely cause lactic acidosis—seek urgent care for rapid breathing, severe weakness, abdominal pain, or unusual sleepiness. Use caution/avoid in severe renal impairment, severe liver disease, dehydration, severe infection, shock, or hypoxia. Stop temporarily before/after iodinated contrast procedures or major surgery as advised. Monitor kidney function, liver function, and HbA1c periodically.

Do not take Glimevel-Mv2 if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for type 1 diabetes or for diabetic ketoacidosis. Not for people with severe kidney or liver disease. Not for people with severe kidney disease, severe liver disease, or an acute illness causing dehydration. Not for people who have had diabetic ketoacidosis. Not for people with heart failure, active bladder cancer or unexplained blood in the urine.

Interactions with other medicines

Alcohol (increases hypoglycaemia/lactic acidosis risk), iodinated contrast media, insulin/other antidiabetics (increased hypoglycaemia), beta‑blockers (may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms), corticosteroids and thiazide diuretics (raise glucose), ACE inhibitors (may enhance glucose lowering), fluoroquinolones (glucose disturbances), cimetidine (may increase metformin levels), sulfonylurea interactions with azole antifungals/NSAIDs (may increase hypoglycaemia)

How to store Glimevel-Mv2 Tablet

Expert advice for Glimevel-Mv2 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. Take it with the first mouthful of your meal so it can act on that meal. Expect some wind in the first weeks; it usually settles.
