What is Glimison M1 Tab used for?

Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when diet and exercise alone or single-drug therapy is inadequate; helps control high blood sugar and reduces risk of diabetes-related complications.

How Glimison M1 Tab Works

Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) increases insulin release from the pancreas and improves the body’s response to insulin. Metformin (a biguanide) decreases glucose production in the liver and reduces intestinal glucose absorption while improving insulin sensitivity, leading to better blood glucose control.

Dosage & Directions

Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily with breakfast or the first main meal (to reduce stomach upset and risk of low sugar). Swallow with water; do not crush/chew unless advised. Monitor blood glucose regularly; maintain diet and exercise as advised.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.

Key Benefits

Lowers fasting and post-meal blood glucose
Improves insulin secretion and sensitivity
Helps achieve better HbA1c control
Reduces symptoms of hyperglycaemia such as excessive thirst/urination
Helps prevent long-term diabetic complications with good control

Pregnancy

Not recommended; consult doctor (insulin is usually preferred in pregnancy).
