Glemine 1 mg/500 mg Tablet

Quick info

Glemine 1 mg/500 mg Tablet is an anti-diabetic drug used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults by controlling blood sugar levels. Glemine 1 mg/500 mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines, Glimepiride and Metformin, used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. Glimepiride increases insulin release from the pancreas, while Metformin lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and increases the body's sensitivity to insulin. This combination helps in better control of blood sugar levels. However, it may cause side effects such as hypoglycemia, especially when used with other antidiabetic medicines or alcohol, or if meals are delayed or missed. It is important to monitor blood sugar levels regularly and inform your doctor about any unusual symptoms or if you are scheduled for surgery.
