Product Description
Euclide-M Tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medicine manufactured by Alkem Pharma. It contains Glimepiride and Metformin, which work together to lower blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, while Glimepiride stimulates insulin release from the pancreas.
This combination is highly effective for patients who do not achieve adequate control with Metformin or Glimepiride alone. Regular use helps prevent serious complications of diabetes such as kidney damage, heart disease, and nerve problems.
