Glidum Mf4-500 Sr Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Glimepiride (4 mg): This component belongs to the sulfonylurea class of medicines. It stimulates the pancreatic beta cells to release more insulin into your bloodstream, which helps lower your blood glucose levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells.

• Metformin (500 mg): As a biguanide, metformin works in three main ways. First, it reduces the amount of glucose produced by your liver (hepatic gluconeogenesis). Second, it decreases the absorption of glucose from your intestines. Third, it improves insulin sensitivity in your body's tissues, allowing them to utilise glucose more effectively.
