Glimetone MP 1 mg/500 mg/15 mg Tablet is a combination medicine used to control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Glimetone MP 1 mg/500 mg/15 mg Tablet is a combination medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. It is used together with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The medicine aids in the proper utilization of insulin, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.

Glimetone MP 1 mg/500 mg/15 mg Tablet is a combination of three antidiabetic medicines: Glimepiride, Metformin, and Pioglitazone. They work by different mechanisms to provide better control of blood sugar when single or dual therapy is not effective. Glimepiride increases the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. Metformin lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from intestines, and increases the body's sensitivity to insulin. Pioglitazone further increases insulin sensitivity.
