Switglim-M 3mg/500mg Tablet PR
Product Overview

Switglim-M 3mg/500mg Tablet PR is an oral anti-diabetic medication formulated for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is a powerful combination of Glimepiride (3 mg) and Metformin (500 mg), designed to effectively regulate blood glucose levels when diet and exercise alone are insufficient.

This medicine works by increasing insulin secretion and improving the body’s ability to use insulin efficiently, helping individuals maintain steady blood sugar control and lowering the risk of long-term diabetic complications.

How Switglim-M 3mg/500mg Tablet PR Works

Switglim-M 3mg/500mg Tablet PR combines two clinically proven ingredients:

Glimepiride – A sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps lower elevated blood sugar levels.

Metformin – A biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver, slows carbohydrate absorption in the intestines, and improves insulin sensitivity throughout the body.

Together, these ingredients provide comprehensive glucose control and help prevent sudden spikes or drops in blood sugar levels.
