Gepride M1 Tablet PR

Product Introduction

Gepride M1 Tablet PR is an antidiabetic combination medicine that helps in controlling blood sugar levels in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains two active components: Glimepiride, which belongs to the sulfonylurea class and stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin, and Metformin, which is a biguanide that decreases glucose production in the liver while improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin. This dual-action therapy provides more effective sugar control, reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, heart problems, nerve pain, and eye disorders, and supports overall well-being. It is most effective when taken along with lifestyle measures like proper diet and regular physical activity.
