How Limer 1M Tablet PR works

Limer 1M combines Glimepiride and Metformin. Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, lowering blood sugar levels. Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and enhances insulin sensitivity in muscles, helping the body utilize insulin more effectively. Together, they provide better control of blood glucose levels.
