Gluconorm G4 Tablet 15 is taken orally.

Gluconorm G4 Tablet 15 contains two active ingredients that work together to regulate blood sugar levels:

• Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient belongs to a class of medicines called biguanides. Its primary function is to decrease the amount of glucose your liver produces. Simultaneously, metformin enhances the sensitivity of muscle and fat tissues to insulin, which facilitates better absorption and utilisation of glucose in these tissues. Furthermore, it slows down glucose absorption from the intestines.

• Glimepiride (4 mg): This medicine component is classified as a sulfonylurea. It stimulates the cells in your pancreas (known as beta cells) to produce more insulin, a hormone that helps bring down high blood sugar levels. Additionally, glimepiride boosts the sensitivity of peripheral tissues (like muscle and fat tissues) to insulin.

By working in unison, these two components provide better control over blood sugar levels than either component alone.
