About
Metformin 500mg + Glimepiride 1mg is a combination anti-diabetic medication used to treat Type 2 Diabetes, especially when diet/exercise or single drugs don't control high blood sugar (glucose). It works by Glimepiride stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin and Metformin reducing liver sugar production & improving insulin sensitivity, helping manage blood sugar levels effectively. This combo lowers risks of diabetes complications like kidney/eye damage and nerve problems.
How it works:
Glimepiride: Stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin.
Metformin: Decreases glucose production in the liver, slows sugar absorption from food, and makes the body use insulin better.
Key Uses:
Type 2 Diabetes Management: For adults whose blood sugar isn't controlled by lifestyle changes alone.
Reduces Complications: Helps prevent serious diabetes-related issues like kidney disease, eye damage, and nerve problems.
