GP-0.5 Tablet contains glimepiride (0.5 mg), which influences the body in the following ways:

• Stimulates Insulin Secretion: Glimepiride works by binding to sulfonylurea receptors on pancreatic beta cells, making them more sensitive to glucose and thus increasing insulin release.

• Reduces Blood Sugar Levels: The enhanced insulin release resulting from the action of glimepiride effectively reduces blood sugar levels.

• Lowers Glucose Output: Apart from its primary function, glimepiride also has some peripheral effects, including lowering glucose output from the liver.

• Keep GP-0.5 Tablet in a cool and dry place, ideally below 30°C.

• Protect the medicine from direct light and moisture.

• Ensure it is stored out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Always check the expiry date on the pack before use; do not use if expired.

• Regular physical activity aids in managing your blood glucose levels, so try to include mild exercises, like walking, into your daily routine.

• Maintain a balanced diet low in sugar and high in fibre to support the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
