Glimepiride & Metformin Hydrochloride Prolonged Release

GLIMITERIS M1 

1. Glimepiride:

   • Glimepiride belongs to a class of medications known as sulfonylureas. It works by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, which helps lower blood sugar levels. Glimepiride is effective in lowering blood glucose levels, especially after meals.
   • Glimepiride is typically taken once daily with breakfast or the first main meal of the day. It's important to take it consistently at the same time each day to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
   • Common side effects of glimepiride may include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), weight gain, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea.

2. Metformin Hydrochloride Prolonged Release:

   • Metformin is a biguanide medication that works primarily by decreasing the production of glucose in the liver and improving the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin. It also helps reduce the absorption of glucose from the intestines and improves insulin action in peripheral tissues.
   • Metformin Hydrochloride Prolonged Release is an extended-release formulation of metformin that allows for slower absorption and prolonged action in the body, which may help reduce gastrointestinal side effects compared to immediate-release formulations.
   • Metformin is usually taken once or twice daily with meals to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Common side effects of metformin may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal discomfort. These side effects usually improve over time as the body adjusts to the medication.
