Composition

Glimepiride (1 Mg) + Metformin (500 Mg)

Sazopride M 1/500 MG Tablet 10 is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) and metformin (a biguanide) to help control blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient. Glimepiride stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity.

This medicine also enhances the body's response to insulin. It is prescribed when diabetes cannot be managed by a single medication. It aids in reducing both fasting and post-meal blood glucose levels.

Taking this medicine should be as per your doctor's directions. Before starting the tablet, inform your doctor about any current health conditions or ongoing medications. Should you experience side effects while using this medicine, contact your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.
