Switglim-M 2/500 Tablet PR
Product Overview

Switglim-M 2/500 Tablet PR is an advanced anti-diabetic medication used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This dual-action formulation combines Glimepiride (2 mg) and Metformin (500 mg) to effectively regulate blood glucose levels and improve overall metabolic control.

By enhancing insulin production and improving the body’s response to insulin, Switglim-M 2/500 helps maintain long-term blood sugar stability and reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications such as nerve damage, kidney issues, and vision problems.

How Switglim-M 2/500 Tablet PR Works

Switglim-M 2/500 Tablet PR combines two proven anti-diabetic agents that work in synergy:

Glimepiride: A sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps reduce high blood sugar levels.

Metformin: A biguanide that decreases glucose production in the liver, slows sugar absorption in the intestines, and enhances insulin sensitivity in body tissues.

This combination ensures effective, balanced, and sustained control of blood glucose throughout the day.
