Glido M2 Plus Tablet PR

Glido M2 Plus Tablet PR is a prescription medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two powerful antidiabetic agents—Glimepiride (2mg) and Metformin (850mg)—that work together to regulate blood sugar levels effectively. This tablet is often prescribed when single-drug therapy does not provide sufficient blood sugar control. By helping the body respond better to insulin and reducing the sugar produced by the liver, it supports long-term glycemic control in diabetic patients.
