Composition of Startglim-M2 Forte Tablet
Startglim-M2 Forte Tablet contains Metformin hydrochloride 1000 mg (sustained/extended release) + Glimepiride 2 mg. It belongs to the Biguanide + Sulfonylurea class of medicines.
Uses of Startglim-M2 Forte Tablet
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus (to control high blood sugar) when diet
- Exercise alone are not sufficient
- Used in patients requiring combination therapy
Benefits of Startglim-M2 Forte Tablet
- In Type 2 diabetes
- Startglim-M2 Forte lowers the amount of sugar your liver releases and helps your body use its own insulin, so blood sugar stays in a steadier range through the day. Keeping sugar controlled over the years protects the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart from the damage diabetes causes.
How Startglim-M2 Forte Tablet works
Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin, lowering insulin resistance. Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, helping reduce blood glucose levels, especially after meals.
How to take Startglim-M2 Forte Tablet
Take by mouth as prescribed by a doctor, usually once daily with the main meal (often dinner/breakfast depending on regimen). Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew if it is SR/ER. Follow diet/exercise plan and monitor blood glucose regularly.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause a dangerous build-up of acid in the blood, with vomiting, severe weakness and laboured breathing. It can cause severe and prolonged low blood sugar, which may lead to fits or unconsciousness. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
