Jul 27, 2024
Introduction
SEIZMET GP 2 is a powerful oral anti-diabetic combination formulated for effective blood sugar control in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). It combines the synergistic effects of Glimepiride 2 mg, Metformin SR 500 mg, and Pioglitazone 15 mg—targeting insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, and glucose utilization through multiple mechanisms. This combination is widely prescribed for patients who require more than one agent to maintain optimal glycemic levels.
Composition
Each film-coated tablet of SEIZMET GP 2 contains:
-
Glimepiride – 2 mg

Metformin Hydrochloride SR – 500 mg

Yes, the SR (Sustained Release) version reduces GI side effects commonly seen with regular Metformin.
