Switglim M 2/1000 Tablet 15

Switglim M 2/1000 Tablet 15 is used in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to help control blood sugar levels when treatment with a single medicine is not sufficient.

Uses of Switglim M 2/1000 Tablet 15 are:

• Blood Sugar Control: Helps lower high blood sugar levels by increasing insulin release and improving insulin sensitivity.

• Swallow the tablet whole with water during breakfast or your first main meal of the day.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet, as this can affect its extended-release properties.
• Always follow your doctor's recommendations regarding the dose and duration of use.

Switglim M 2/1000 Tablet 15 is taken orally.

Switglim M 2/1000 Tablet 15 comprises two active ingredients that work together to control blood glucose levels:

• Glimepiride (2 mg): Glimepiride belongs to a class of medications known as sulfonylureas. It stimulates the pancreatic beta cells, which are responsible for producing insulin. This process increases the release of insulin into your body, helping lower blood sugar levels. Additionally, it enhances insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues.
• Metformin (1000 mg): Metformin is a biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and decreases glucose absorption in the intestine. It also improves insulin sensitivity by aiding peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation, which helps your body use up the sugar in your blood more effectively.

The combined action of these two ingredients provides effective and prolonged control of blood glucose levels.

• Keep this medication in a secure place, out of the reach of children.

• Regular physical activity: Incorporating moderate exercise into your daily routine can help manage blood sugar levels. This could include brisk walking, cycling or swimming. 
• Balanced diet: A diet low in refined sugars and high in fibre can help control type 2 diabetes. This includes eating more whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins while limiting sugary drinks and snacks.
