Glimestar M3 Forte Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Metformin (1000 mg): Classified as a biguanide antidiabetic agent, metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and slows down the liver's glucose production. It also decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, meaning less glucose enters your bloodstream from your diet. Lastly, metformin improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation.

• Glimepiride (3 mg): As part of the sulfonylurea class of antidiabetic agents, glimepiride works by stimulating insulin release from pancreatic beta cells. This action helps lower blood glucose levels. Furthermore, it increases insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, meaning that these tissues can absorb and utilise glucose more effectively.

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

• Regular Exercise: Engaging in a moderate-intensity physical activity like brisk walking can help manage your blood glucose levels.

• Balanced Diet: Include fibre-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These help slow sugar absorption into your bloodstream, preventing spikes in your blood glucose levels. Avoid sugary drinks and high-fat foods. Always consult your doctor for a diet plan that suits you best.
