Switglim-M 1/1000 Tablet PR

Product Overview

Switglim-M 1/1000 Tablet PR is a prescription medication designed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This tablet combines Glimepiride and Metformin, two powerful antidiabetic agents that work together to maintain blood sugar levels within the normal range. By keeping glucose levels in check, it helps reduce the risk of serious diabetes-related complications, including kidney damage, vision problems, nerve disorders, and cardiovascular disease.

How Switglim-M 1/1000 Tablet PR Works

Glimepiride: Stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, helping the body lower blood glucose effectively.

Metformin: Reduces glucose production in the liver, slows absorption of sugar from the intestines, and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
The combination ensures comprehensive blood sugar management, making it easier to maintain glycemic control with diet and lifestyle measures.
