Glycinorm-M 40 Tablet comprises two active ingredients:

• Gliclazide (40 mg): This component belongs to a group of medicines known as sulfonylureas. It encourages the beta cells in your pancreas to produce more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels. Gliclazide also aids in reducing liver-produced glucose and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.

• Metformin (500 mg): Metformin is part of the biguanide class of antidiabetic medicines. Its primary function is to decrease liver-produced glucose by inhibiting two processes: gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. It also assists in increasing the uptake and use of glucose by enhancing insulin sensitivity in muscles and fat tissues.

The combined action of gliclazide and metformin provides improved control over blood glucose levels when compared to either medicine taken alone.
