Astromet G 0.5/500 MG Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Glimepiride (0.5 mg): This ingredient belongs to the sulfonylurea class and works by stimulating the pancreatic beta cells to release more insulin. It binds to specific receptors on these cells, closing certain channels that trigger insulin release into your bloodstream.

• Metformin (500 mg): This biguanide component activates an enzyme called AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase). This activation results in decreased glucose production by your liver, improved absorption of glucose by muscle cells, and reduced absorption of glucose from your intestines.
