Glimiprex SM Forte 1 Tablet 1*10

Product Overview

Glimiprex SM Forte 1 Tablet is a combination medication made up of three active ingredients designed to help lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is typically prescribed when lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, along with other medications, are not enough to control blood sugar effectively.

The tablet is best taken with meals and should be consumed consistently at the same time each day to achieve optimal results. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your condition and response, and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels may be recommended during treatment.

Even if you start feeling better or your blood sugar levels stabilize, it is essential to continue taking this medication.

How It Works

Glimiprex SM Forte 1 Tablet combines three medicines that work together to control blood sugar. Sitagliptin enhances insulin release by stimulating substances called incretins and helps prevent excessive sugar production in the liver. Glimepiride stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas and assists the body in utilizing insulin more efficiently. Metformin reduces glucose absorption from the intestine, lowers sugar production in the liver, and improves the body’s response to insulin.
