How GLIMIPREX SM 1/50/500MG TAB 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.
Dosage & Directions
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.
Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
