Prescription Required.Why?
A sulfonylurea drug that stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin.
A biguanide drug that improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production by the liver.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus, when diet and exercise alone are not enough to control blood sugar levels.
Often used in patients who require both insulin stimulation and improved insulin sensitivity.
Glimepiride enhances insulin secretion from the pancreas, while metformin reduces hepatic glucose production, improves insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, and may slightly decrease intestinal glucose absorption. The combination provides a synergistic effect in blood glucose control.
Store at room temperature (20-25°C), away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
Dosage is determined by your doctor based on your individual needs and response to treatment.
Typically started at a low dose and gradually increased as needed.

Take with food to minimize gastrointestinal side effects.
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Symptoms include dizziness, sweating, shakiness, and confusion.
Gastrointestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain), especially with metformin.
Weight gain (more likely with glimepiride).
Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling).
Vitamin B12 deficiency (longterm metformin use).
Alcohol can increase the risk of hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis. Limit alcohol intake.
Hypoglycemia can impair judgment and coordination. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience hypoglycemic symptoms.
Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor for alternative diabetes management.
Not typically used in children.
