Product Overview
Glimiprex MF Forte 2 Tablet PR is part of a class of anti-diabetic medications. It contains two active ingredients that work together to help manage type 2 diabetes in adults. This medicine assists in regulating blood sugar levels, helping prevent complications such as kidney damage, nerve issues, and vision problems.
The tablet should be taken with meals, preferably at the same time each day for consistent results. Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate dosage based on your condition and may adjust it depending on how well your blood sugar is being controlled.
Continue using this medication even if you feel better or your blood sugar appears normal. Stopping the treatment without medical advice may cause your blood sugar levels to rise, which can lead to complications such as kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, or limb problems. This treatment should be part of a larger plan that includes healthy eating, regular exercise, and weight management, as recommended by your healthcare provider.
Possible Side Effects
The most common side effect is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). It’s important to be aware of symptoms such as sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking, and know how to manage them. To prevent these episodes, maintain regular meal times and always carry quick sources of glucose, like sugary snacks or fruit juice. Avoid consuming alcohol, as it may increase the risk of low blood sugar. Other side effects may include taste changes, nausea, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, headaches, and upper respiratory infections. Some users may also experience weight gain.
Precautions
This medicine should not be used by people with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver conditions. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease before starting treatment, as it may not be suitable. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using this medicine. Regular blood sugar checks are necessary, and your doctor may request lab tests to monitor liver function and blood health.
Uses

Benefits
Glimiprex MF Forte helps increase insulin production from the pancreas, which lowers blood sugar levels. This supports better diabetes management and reduces the risk of complications such as kidney disease, nerve damage, and vision loss. When used with a proper diet and exercise routine, it helps maintain a healthier lifestyle.
Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. If symptoms persist or concern you, consult your doctor.
Common side effects include:
Headache
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
Nausea
Diarrhea
How to Use
Follow your doctor’s instructions and the label guidance. Take the tablet with food, and do not crush, chew, or break it.
How It Works
This medication combines glimepiride and metformin. Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, boosts insulin secretion from the pancreas to lower blood sugar. Metformin, a biguanide, decreases glucose production in the liver, slows its absorption in the intestines, and enhances the body’s insulin sensitivity. Together, these actions help improve blood sugar control.

Alcohol
Avoid alcohol while using this medication, as it may increase the chances of low blood sugar.

Breastfeeding
The drug may pass into breast milk and could harm the baby. Avoid using it while breastfeeding.
Driving
Low or high blood sugar can affect your alertness and ability to drive safely. Do not drive if you experience symptoms like dizziness or blurred vision.
