Glucoryl-M 2 Tablet

Description

Product Description

Glucoryl-M 2 Tablet is a prescription anti-diabetic medicine formulated with Glimepiride 2 mg and Metformin Hydrochloride. It is commonly prescribed for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults when diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications alone are insufficient to achieve adequate glycemic control.

Glimepiride belongs to the sulfonylurea class of medicines and stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, helping lower blood glucose levels. Metformin belongs to the biguanide class and works by reducing glucose production in the liver, decreasing intestinal glucose absorption, and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

When used regularly under medical supervision, together with a balanced diet and regular physical activity, Glucoryl-M 2 Tablet helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels and may reduce the risk of long-term diabetes-related complications.
