Product Description
Glucoryl-1 Tablet combines Glimepiride (1mg) and Metformin (500mg) to provide dual-action control of blood glucose in type 2 diabetes. Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, while Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity.
This combination effectively lowers both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels. Regular use of Glucoryl-1, along with a proper diet and exercise, helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications, such as kidney damage, nerve issues, and eye problems.
