SUGAMIDE-M-2

MRP: 900

Packaging: 10x10

Pack Type: tablet

Composition:

Glimepiride 2mg + Metformin 500mg (In SR)

Indication:

Metformin and glimepiride simultaneously targets insulin resistance and insulin deficiency in type 2 diabetes

Description:

This tablet is a fixed-dose combination of Glimepiride 2 mg, a sulfonylurea, and Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg in Sustained Release (SR) form. It is designed for effective management of type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially in patients not adequately controlled with monotherapy.

  • Glimepiride works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, helping to reduce blood glucose levels.

  • Metformin SR improves insulin sensitivity, decreases hepatic glucose production, and slows intestinal glucose absorption. The sustained-release form enhances gastrointestinal tolerance and provides steady blood sugar control throughout the day.

Together, this dual-acting combination improves both fasting and postprandial glucose levels and helps reduce the long-term complications of diabetes.
