Gemer 0.5 Tablet is taken orally.

Gemer 0.5 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Glimepiride (0.5 mg): This ingredient is a sulfonylurea medicine that stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps to transfer sugar from the blood into cells, where it can be used for energy. By boosting insulin levels, glimepiride effectively lowers blood glucose.
• Metformin (500 mg): This biguanide class medicine reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver and decreases sugar absorption in the gut. Additionally, it increases the body's sensitivity to insulin, resulting in lowered blood glucose levels.

The combination of these two ingredients in an extended-release tablet provides superior control of blood sugar levels than either ingredient alone.
