Tablet PR
Introduction
Jubiglim M 2 Forte Tablet PR belongs to a category of medicines known as anti-diabetic drugs. It is a combination of two medicines, Glimepiride and Metformin, used to treat 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 control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. However, it can cause hypoglycemia, especially when used with other antidiabetic medicines or alcohol, or if meals are delayed or missed. It may also cause a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and liver function is advised. Consult your doctor for more information.
Directions for Use
Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use. Jubiglim M 2 Forte Tablet PR is to be taken with food.
How it works
Jubiglim M 2 Forte Tablet PR is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines: Glimepiride and Metformin. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea which works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas in order to lower the blood glucose. Metformin is a biguanide which works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from intestines, and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.
