CompositionGLIMULIN MF FORTE Tablet 15 is a medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults when diet and exercise alone are not enough. Keeping blood sugar steady helps lower the risk of long-term diabetes problems such as kidney damage, nerve problems, vision loss, and heart disease.
It contains glimepiride and metformin, which belong to groups of medicines called sulfonylureas and biguanides. It help the body release more insulin, respond to insulin better, and reduce the glucose made by the liver. It is usually taken with or just after food. Continue taking it even when you feel well, and do not stop it without medical advice.
Diet and lifestyle play an important part in managing diabetes alongside this medicine. These include eating regular balanced meals, limiting sugary foods and drinks, staying physically active, and maintaining a healthy weight.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any kidney or liver problems or other medicines you take. See your doctor for regular blood sugar checks. Because it can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), learn to recognise the warning signs such as sweating and shakiness, and keep a fast-acting sugar source with you.
