Glychek M Sr 60/500mg Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients that work together to control blood glucose levels:

• Gliclazide (60 mg): This component belongs to the sulfonylurea class of medicines. It stimulates the pancreatic beta cells to release more insulin, which helps lower your blood sugar levels. It also improves how your body's tissues respond to insulin.

• Metformin (500 mg): As a biguanide antihyperglycemic agent, metformin works by decreasing glucose production in your liver. It also reduces the absorption of glucose from your intestines and improves insulin sensitivity by enhancing glucose uptake and utilisation in peripheral tissues like muscles.
