Glador M 1 Forte Tablet PR

Glador M 1 Forte Tablet PR is a prolonged-release formulation designed to manage type 2 diabetes by controlling blood sugar levels. It contains two active ingredients: glimepiride (1mg), a sulfonylurea, and metformin (500mg), a biguanide. Glimepiride works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, while metformin improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin and decreases glucose production in the liver. Together, these medications provide effective blood sugar control and help reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes.
