GLIMIRAP-M2

Glimepiride (2mg) Metformin (500mg) SR BILAYERED Uses

A strong combination of antidiabetic formulations namely Glimepiride and Metformin is primarily used to treat Type-2 diabetes in patients, whose sugar levels are not controlled by exercise and diet routine. Type-2 diabetes is a chorionic (long-term) condition that affects the ability of the pancreas to produce insulin in the body. Insulin is a naturally occurring hormone that helps in removing excess sugar from the blood and controlling levels of the sugar in the blood as well. Glimepiride improves the production of insulin by supporting the activities in the pancreas, resulting in essential and low levels of excess blood sugar. On the other hand, Metformin decreases the production of sugar in the liver and prevents the intestines from absorbing unnecessarily excess sugar. Additionally, it enhances the responsiveness of muscle cells to insulin, allowing these cells to extract sugar more efficiently from the bloodstream. The sustained release form of dosage provides individuals with fast, better, and long-lasting effects, extremely useful for unpredictable conditions such as type-2 diabetes.
