🩺 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
