Glimiprex MF 2/500 Tablet consists of two active ingredients:

• Metformin (500 mg): Metformin falls under the biguanide class of medicines that function by reducing hepatic glucose production and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. It also improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation. This dual-action helps to further control blood sugar levels.

• Glimepiride (2 mg): As a sulfonylurea, glimepiride stimulates insulin release from functioning pancreatic beta cells. It does this by binding to specific receptors on these cells which leads to an increase in insulin secretion. This helps lower blood sugar levels. In addition, glimepiride may also enhance tissue sensitivity to insulin.

• Keep Glimiprex MF 2/500 Tablet in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.

• Protect it from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Ensure it's out of sight and reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use, don't take it if it's past this date.

• A balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins and vegetables can help manage your blood sugar levels. Avoid sugary snacks and drinks.

• Regular physical activity such as walking, cycling or yoga can improve your body's sensitivity to insulin and help control your type 2 diabetes. However, do consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
