Glimiprex Mf 3/500 Tablet 10 consists of two active ingredients:

• Glimepiride (3 mg): As part of the sulphonylurea class of medications, glimepiride helps regulate blood sugar by stimulating pancreatic beta cells to release more insulin. This increased insulin secretion occurs even at lower blood sugar levels due to an improved sensitivity of these cells towards glucose. Glimepiride helps reduce glucose output from your liver.

• Metformin (500 mg): Metformin primarily works by reducing hepatic glucose production and intestinal glucose absorption, while enhancing insulin sensitivity in tissues like muscle and fat. It activates an enzyme named AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which regulates cellular energy balance and glucose uptake. Unlike sulphonylurea, metformin does not stimulate insulin secretion and is less likely to cause hypoglycaemia.

Through these different mechanisms, it effectively helps manage blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.
