Glycomet Trio Forte 2 Tablet works by combining the actions of three active ingredients:

• Glimepiride (2 mg): This medication belongs to the sulfonylurea class of medicines, which work by stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas. They bind to a specific type of potassium channel in the cells, causing these cells to release insulin, a hormone that lowers blood sugar.

• Metformin (1000 mg): As part of the biguanide class, metformin works by decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver, reducing the absorption of glucose from the gut, and improving the body's sensitivity to insulin. This triple action helps to lower high blood sugar levels.

• Voglibose (0.2 mg): Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor. It slows down the breakdown of complex carbohydrates in the small intestine, delaying the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. This action helps to lower the sudden spike in blood sugar levels that can occur after meals.

• Store Glycomet Trio Forte 2 Tablet in a dry, cool place at room temperature, ideally below below 30°C.

• Keep the medicine away from direct light and moisture.

• Ensure the tablets are out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date and avoid using the medicine if it's past this date.

• Regular exercise: As you're managing type 2 diabetes, incorporating regular physical activity into your daily routine can help control your blood sugar levels. Consult your doctor for an exercise plan that suits you best.

• Diabetes-friendly diet: Pay attention to your eating habits. Aim for a diet rich in fibre and low in fat, sugar, and salt. This can contribute to better management of your blood sugar levels.
