Gluconorm G2 Forte Tablet is taken orally.

Gluconorm G2 Forte Tablet contains two active ingredients that work together to regulate blood sugar levels:

• Glimepiride (2 mg): Belonging to the sulfonylurea class of medicines, glimepiride primarily works by stimulating the beta cells in your pancreas to secrete more insulin. This hormone helps reduce blood glucose levels. Some secondary effects outside the pancreas may also contribute to its antidiabetic action.

• Metformin (1000 mg): Metformin is a biguanide antihyperglycemic agent that reduces both regular and post-meal blood glucose levels. It does this by decreasing liver glucose production, reducing intestinal glucose absorption, and improving insulin sensitivity. This increased sensitivity leads to better uptake and utilisation of glucose in your body's cells. Unlike glimepiride, metformin does not typically cause low blood sugar or hypoglycaemia, except under certain special circumstances.

• Always store Gluconorm G2 Forte Tablet in a cool and dry place, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Store it in its original packaging to avoid any damage.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Check the expiry date on the pack before using; never take the tablet if it has passed its expiry date.

• Maintain a balanced diet that is low in sugar. Foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy products can help manage your blood glucose levels.

• Regular physical activity can help your body use insulin more efficiently. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming most days of the week.
