Description:
Glibenclamide 5mg + Metformin HCl 500mg is a combination oral antidiabetic medication used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Glibenclamide (also known as Glyburide) belongs to the sulfonylurea class and stimulates the pancreas to release insulin. Metformin, a biguanide, works by reducing hepatic glucose production and improving insulin sensitivity. This dual-action formulation helps achieve better glycemic control in patients whose blood sugar levels are not adequately controlled by metformin or lifestyle modifications alone.
Tags:
- Effective blood sugar control for type 2 diabetes
- Dual mechanism: enhances insulin release and sensitivity
- May delay the need for insulin therapy
- Convenient once or twice-daily dosing
- Suitable for long-term glycemic management
