Glimy M 2 Tablet PR

Glimy M 2 Tablet PR is an anti-diabetic preparation that contains two active agents used together for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults. The medicine helps balance blood sugar levels and lowers the risk of long-term diabetes-related complications.

It is best taken with meals, ideally at the same time every day. Regular use ensures better results. The exact dosage is based on individual blood sugar readings and may be adjusted by your doctor according to your progress.

Do not discontinue this medicine suddenly without medical advice, even if you feel fine or your sugar readings appear normal. Stopping it on your own may cause blood sugar to rise and lead to problems such as kidney damage, eye disorders, nerve-related issues, or even serious complications affecting the limbs. Along with medicine, proper diet, physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight are important for effective diabetes management.

Possible side effects
One of the most common concerns with this tablet is low blood sugar. Warning signs may include sweating, dizziness, headache, shakiness, or weakness. To reduce the risk, eat meals on time and always keep a quick source of sugar like candy or fruit juice with you. Alcohol should be avoided as it can worsen the risk of hypoglycemia. Other side effects may include nausea, stomach upset, diarrhea, headache, altered taste, mild infections, or weight gain in some cases.

Who should avoid this medicine
This tablet is not recommended in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or serious liver and kidney disorders. People with a history of heart disease or other major health problems should inform their doctor before use. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also consult their doctor before starting treatment. Periodic blood sugar checks and sometimes additional tests such as liver function or blood count may be required during therapy.

Uses

Benefits
Glimy M 2 Tablet PR combines two medicines that work together to lower blood glucose. One component stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin, while the other reduces sugar formation in the liver, delays sugar absorption in the intestines, and improves insulin sensitivity. Regular use helps protect against kidney, eye, heart, and nerve-related complications.

Common side effects

How to take
Swallow the tablet whole with water during or after meals. Follow the dose as advised by your doctor or as directed on the packaging.

How it works
This medicine contains Glimepiride and Metformin. Glimepiride belongs to the sulfonylurea group and helps the pancreas release more insulin. Metformin belongs to the biguanide class and works by reducing glucose production in the liver, slowing absorption of sugar from the intestines, and improving how the body uses insulin.
