Uses of Glimiprex Sm 1/50/500MG Tab

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (in adults) to improve blood sugar control when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient

• •Lowers fasting and post-meal blood sugar
• •Improves insulin release and reduces glucagon
• •Reduces liver glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity
• •Helps achieve better HbA1c control when dual therapy is insufficient

How it works

Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release insulin. Sitagliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) increases incretin hormones, enhancing glucose-dependent insulin release and reducing glucagon. Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, reducing intestinal glucose absorption.

Directions for use

Take orally exactly as prescribed. Typically taken once daily with a main meal (often breakfast) to reduce stomach upset and risk of low sugar; swallow whole (do not crush/chew if SR/ER). Monitor blood glucose regularly and follow diet/exercise advice.
