Glimperide 2mg & Metformin Hydrochloride (SR) 1000mg Tablets

Description

Glimepiride 2mg and Metformin Hydrochloride (SR) 1000mg tablets– Glemecruz MPI is a combination of the two drugs Glimepiride and Metformin, which are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Both drugs belong to an anti-diabetic class of drugs.

They work in different ways to lower blood sugar levels in diabetic people. Glimepiride helps the pancreas produce more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body use sugar for energy. Metformin helps the body use insulin more effectively. It also reduces the amount of sugar that the liver produces.

Uses of Glimepiride and Metformin Tablets

Glimepiride and metformin tablets are used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. They are a combination of two different types of diabetes medications: sulfonylurea (glimepiride) and biguanide (metformin).

• Sulfonylureas work by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body’s cells use glucose (sugar) for energy.
• Biguanides work by reducing the amount of glucose that the liver produces and by helping the body’s cells use insulin more effectively.

Glimepiride and metformin tablets are typically used when diet and exercise alone are not enough to control blood sugar levels. They may also be used in combination with other diabetes medications, such as insulin. Glimepiride and metformin tablets are not indicated for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.
