Benformin 2.5/400 MG Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Glibenclamide (2.5 mg): This component belongs to the sulfonylurea class and works by stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas. It binds to specific potassium channels in pancreatic beta cells, causing cell membrane changes that trigger insulin release.

• Metformin (400 mg): As a biguanide medicine, metformin decreases glucose production by the liver. It also improves insulin sensitivity by increasing glucose uptake and utilisation in peripheral tissues, helping your body use insulin more effectively.

• Monitor your carbohydrate intake carefully and choose foods with a low glycaemic index (foods that release sugar slowly into your bloodstream) to help maintain stable blood glucose levels.

• Engage in regular physical activity for at least 30 minutes daily, as exercise helps your body use insulin more effectively and improves blood sugar control.
