Glimivex-M2 Forte Tablet SR

Quick info

Glimivex-M2 Forte Tablet SR is an anti-diabetic drug used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults by controlling blood sugar levels. Glimivex-M2 Forte Tablet SR is a combination of two medicines, Glimepiride and Metformin, used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It helps control blood sugar levels by increasing insulin release and reducing glucose production in the liver. While effective, it may cause side effects such as hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and liver function is recommended. Consult your doctor for personalized advice.

How it works

Glimivex-M2 Forte Tablet SR combines Glimepiride, which increases insulin release from the pancreas, and Metformin, which lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and increases the body's sensitivity to insulin.

Direction of use

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it. It should be taken with food to reduce the risk of an upset stomach.
