Glimisave MV 2 Tablet SR

Introduction

Glimisave MV 2 Tablet SR is a combination medication used to manage Type 2 diabetes. It contains two active ingredients: Gliclazide (a sulfonylurea) and Metformin (a biguanide). Gliclazide helps increase insulin secretion, while Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver. The sustained-release (SR) formulation ensures gradual action, providing better blood sugar control throughout the day.

Uses

• Management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Helps lower blood sugar levels alongside diet and exercise
• Prevention of complications due to uncontrolled diabetes such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve issues

How it Works

Gliclazide in Glimisave MV 2 Tablet SR stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, reducing blood sugar levels. Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and increases insulin sensitivity in muscles, helping the body use glucose more effectively. The sustained-release form ensures that the medication is released slowly, providing continuous blood sugar control.

• Provides long-lasting blood sugar control throughout the day

• Convenient once-daily dosing with sustained-release formulation for stable glucose levels
