Glimsestar M 0.5mg Tablet

Introduction of Glimsestar M 0.5 mg Tablet 

Glimsestar M 0.5 mg Tablet is an oral antidiabetic medicine that combines Glimepiride (0.5 mg) and Metformin (500 mg) to help control high blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is typically prescribed when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient to manage blood glucose.

Description

Glimsestar M 0.5 mg works in two ways:

Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, helping lower blood sugar.

Metformin reduces sugar production by the liver and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

Together, these actions help maintain healthier blood glucose levels and support overall diabetes management when used with a balanced diet and exercise.

Uses

Glimsestar M 0.5 mg is used for:

Managing type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults
