The Gluconorm PG 1 Tablet contains three active ingredients, each contributing towards controlling blood sugar levels:

• Glimepiride (1 mg): This ingredient belongs to a class of medicines known as sulfonylureas. It stimulates the beta cells in your pancreas to release more insulin. The increased insulin helps to lower your blood sugar levels.

• Metformin (500 mg): Classified as a biguanide, metformin works by lowering the amount of glucose your liver produces. It also decreases the absorption of glucose in your intestines and improves insulin sensitivity in your body, leading to better control of blood sugar levels.

• Pioglitazone (15 mg): This ingredient is a thiazolidinedione, which increases the body's sensitivity to insulin. By doing so, it allows your cells to use insulin more efficiently, which helps to lower blood glucose levels.
