What is Glycomet Trio 0.5 Tablet used for?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when blood glucose is not adequately controlled with diet/exercise and/or dual therapy; helps control fasting and post-meal blood sugar

How Glycomet Trio 0.5 Tablet Works

Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release insulin. Voglibose slows carbohydrate digestion/absorption in the intestine, reducing post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Dosage & Directions

Tablet (oral). Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily with/after meals (often with the first main meal) to reduce stomach upset and hypoglycaemia. Swallow whole with water; do not crush/chew sustained-release tablets. Follow diet and exercise advice and monitor blood glucose regularly.

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

Key Benefits

Improves insulin sensitivity and reduces hepatic glucose output
Reduces carbohydrate absorption and post-meal spikes
Helps lower HbA1c when dual therapy is insufficient
