How GLIMIBRIT M 0.5MG TAB Works
Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) increases insulin release from the pancreas and improves peripheral glucose utilization. Metformin (a biguanide) reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, lowering blood glucose without usually causing hypoglycaemia on its own.
