Product Introduction
Gluformin G 2/500 Tablet is a combination of Glimepiride (2 mg) and Metformin (500 mg). Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that increases insulin release from the pancreas, while Metformin is a biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Together, they help manage type 2 diabetes, especially when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient.
