Product Introduction:
Glimestar PM 4/500/15 mg Tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medication prescribed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines three powerful ingredients—Glimepiride, Metformin, and Pioglitazone—each targeting different mechanisms to control blood glucose. This triple therapy is particularly effective in patients whose blood sugar is not adequately managed by dual medications alone.
