• Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.

• Take this medicine with meals to reduce stomach upset.

• Do not chew, crush or break the tablet.

LAFORMIN GV 2 TABLET 10 is taken orally.

LAFORMIN GV 2 TABLET 10 contains three active ingredients that work together to control blood sugar levels:

• Glimepiride (2 mg): Stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin by binding to specific receptors on pancreatic beta cells, helping to lower blood glucose levels particularly after meals.

• Voglibose (0.2 mg): Works as an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that blocks enzymes in the small intestine that digest carbohydrates, slowing down carbohydrate digestion and delaying glucose absorption into the bloodstream, preventing sharp rises in blood sugar after meals.

• Metformin (500 mg): Decreases glucose production in the liver (hepatic gluconeogenesis), delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and improves insulin sensitivity in the body tissues, helping to lower both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels.

Store LAFORMIN GV 2 TABLET 10 as follows:

• Store this tablet in a tightly closed container at room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep the medicine protected from direct light and moisture.

• Store in its original packaging until the time of use.

• Always keep out of reach and sight of children.

• Check the expiry date before use and do not use after this date.

• Monitor your carbohydrate intake carefully by choosing complex carbohydrates (like whole grains and vegetables) over simple sugars to help maintain steady blood glucose levels throughout the day.

• Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week. Regular exercise helps improve insulin sensitivity and supports the medicine's effectiveness in controlling blood sugar.
