Glimiprex SM Forte 2 Tablet

Product Overview

Glimiprex SM Forte 2 Tablet is a combination of three medicines that work together to help reduce blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is usually prescribed when changes in diet, exercise, and other medications have not provided sufficient control over blood glucose levels.

This medication should be taken with meals and at the same time each day for the best results. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your specific condition and how well your body responds to treatment. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels may be advised to ensure the medicine is working effectively.

It is important to continue using this medicine even if you feel better or your blood sugar appears stable. Stopping it without medical advice can cause your blood sugar levels to rise, increasing the risk of complications such as kidney issues, eye problems, nerve damage, and limb loss. This treatment is part of a larger diabetes management plan that includes healthy eating, physical activity, and weight management, all of which play a crucial role in controlling the condition.

How It Works

Glimiprex SM Forte 2 Tablet combines three medicines to effectively control blood sugar. Sitagliptin increases incretin levels, which stimulate insulin release and reduce sugar production by the liver. Glimepiride helps the pancreas produce more insulin and improves its efficiency in lowering blood glucose. Metformin reduces glucose absorption from food, decreases glucose production in the liver, and enhances the body’s response to insulin.
