Glimihelp M1 Forte Tablet 10 contains two main active ingredients:

• Glimepiride (1 mg): This component stimulates your pancreas to secrete more insulin. It achieves this by binding to specific receptors on the cells of your pancreas, making them release insulin. In addition, glimepiride increases the sensitivity of your body's tissues to insulin, enabling them to absorb more glucose from your bloodstream.
• Metformin (1000 mg): This ingredient works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by your liver. Specifically, metformin suppresses two processes in your liver - gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis - both responsible for creating glucose. Additionally, metformin enhances insulin sensitivity and promotes increased glucose uptake by peripheral tissues while delaying glucose absorption from your gastrointestinal tract.

The combined effect of these components leads to a significant reduction in blood sugar levels throughout the day with a lower risk of hypoglycemia compared to each medicine alone.

• Store Glimihelp M1 Forte Tablet 10 at room temperature below 30°C.
• Protect the medicine from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.
• Always keep this medication out of reach of children to prevent accidental consumption.
• Use Glimihelp M1 Forte Tablet 10 before the expiry date printed on the package.

• Include high-fibre foods in your diet. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream and prevent spikes in your blood glucose levels.
• Regularly engage in moderate-intensity exercise like brisk walking or cycling. This helps improve insulin sensitivity, which is beneficial for managing type 2 diabetes.
