Glinil-M Tablet is used for managing type 2 diabetes. It combines Glibenclamide, which stimulates insulin release, and Metformin, which improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production in the liver, helping to control blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are insufficient.

Ingest the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Avoid breaking, crushing or chewing the tablet.
Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by your doctor.
