GLIMEPIRIDE and METFORMIN Tablets

Glimepiride and Metformin Tablets are medications under the branding of GLI-MF FORTE. Glimepiride and metformin are two medications that are used to treat type 2 diabetes. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea antidiabetic drug that works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas. This helps to lower blood sugar levels. Metformin is a biguanide antidiabetic drug that works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver and absorbed by the intestines. It also helps to increase insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat tissues, leading to a reduction in blood sugar levels.

Both drugs are commonly prescribed together as they have complementary mechanisms of action and can enhance each other’s efficacy in controlling blood sugar levels. However, as with any medications, it is important to take them only as directed by a healthcare provider and to monitor for potential side effects. In case of side effects, it is advised to consult a healthcare professional as soon as possible.
