Glimp M1 SR Tablet

Introduction

Glimp M1 SR Tablet is a combination medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes. It contains two active ingredients: Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, and Metformin, a biguanide. Together, these medications help control blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes. Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, while Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Glimp M1 SR Tablet is commonly prescribed to improve glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes, especially when diet and exercise alone are insufficient.

Uses of Glimp M1 SR Tablet

Glimp M1 SR Tablet is used for:

• Managing type 2 diabetes in adults
• Improving blood sugar control when diet and exercise are insufficient

How Glimp M1 SR Tablet Works

Glimp M1 SR Tablet combines Glimepiride and Metformin. Glimepiride works by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin, which helps lower blood sugar levels. Metformin works by decreasing glucose production in the liver, improving the body's sensitivity to insulin, and increasing glucose uptake by cells. Together, these actions help maintain normal blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
