Glyciphage-G2 Tablet is taken orally.

Glyciphage-G2 Tablet is a combination of two active ingredients that work together to help manage type 2 diabetes:

• Glimepiride (2 mg): This ingredient belongs to the sulfonylurea class of medicines. It stimulates insulin secretion from functioning pancreatic beta cells by binding to sulfonylurea receptors, thereby increasing insulin levels in the body.

• Metformin (500 mg): Metformin is a biguanide that works by reducing hepatic glucose production and delaying intestinal glucose absorption. It enhances peripheral glucose uptake and utilization by improving insulin sensitivity. The extended-release formulation ensures that metformin is absorbed over a longer period, maintaining therapeutic levels for 24 hours.

These two mechanisms complement each other, providing effective 24-hour glycemic control for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

• Store Glyciphage-G2 Tablet below 30°C, in a cool and dry place.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• The medicine should always be kept out of reach and out of sight to children.

• Make sure to use the tablet before the expiry date mentioned on the packaging.

• Aim for a balanced diet that is low in sugar and high in fibre. This can help manage your blood glucose levels, complementing the action of Glyciphage-G2 Tablet.

• Regular physical activity such as walking, cycling, or swimming can improve insulin sensitivity and help control type 2 diabetes effectively. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
