🩺 Composition & Therapeutic Class

  • Glimepiride (2 mg): A sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, lowering blood glucose levels.

  • Metformin Hydrochloride (500 mg): A biguanide that reduces hepatic glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity.

This combination is used to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults when diet and exercise alone are insufficient.


💊 Dosage & Administration

  • Typical Dosage: One tablet taken orally once daily, preferably with meals to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort.

  • Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew.

  • Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it's almost time for the next dose. Do not double doses to make up for a missed one.


⚠️ Precautions & Warnings

  • Alcohol Consumption: Avoid alcohol, as it can increase the risk of lactic acidosis and hypoglycemia.

  • Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

  • Kidney & Liver Function: Use with caution in patients with kidney or liver impairment. Regular monitoring is recommended.

  • Driving: Caution is advised, as the medication may affect alertness, especially if blood sugar levels are too low or too high.GetOMeds
