Product Overview

Glimiprex MF 2/500 Tablet PR is an anti-diabetic medication that combines two active ingredients to help manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It works by assisting in the regulation of blood sugar levels, thereby reducing the risk of complications such as kidney damage, vision problems, and nerve-related issues.

The tablet is intended to be taken with food and should be consumed at the same time every day to achieve the best results. Your healthcare provider will prescribe the appropriate dosage based on your condition and monitor its effectiveness through your blood sugar readings.

Even if you feel well or your glucose levels are stable, it’s essential to continue taking this medication regularly. Stopping the treatment without medical advice can lead to an increase in blood sugar, putting you at risk for complications like kidney disease, eye problems, nerve damage, or even limb loss. Alongside the medication, maintaining a healthy diet, staying physically active, and managing body weight are crucial components of effective diabetes control.

Possible Side Effects

It’s important to be aware of symptoms such as dizziness, sweating, headaches, and shaking, and to know how to respond. Eating meals at regular intervals and carrying a quick source of sugar, like glucose tablets or fruit juice, can help manage these symptoms. Alcohol consumption should be avoided, as it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

How It Works

The medicine combines two active agents:

Glimepiride – A sulfonylurea that enhances insulin release from the pancreas to lower blood sugar.

Metformin – A biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver, slows the absorption of sugar from the intestines, and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
