About Glycomet-GP 2/850 Tablet PR

Glycomet-GP 2/850 Tablet PR is an oral anti-diabetic medicine used to treat Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (non-insulin dependent diabetes) in adults.
It helps regulate high blood sugar levels and prevents long-term complications like nerve damage, kidney disease, heart attack, and stroke.

This tablet combines two active ingredients — Glimepiride and Metformin — that work synergistically to maintain blood sugar control throughout the day.

How It Works

• Glimepiride (2mg): A sulfonylurea that increases insulin release from the pancreas, helping lower blood sugar levels.

• Metformin (850mg): A biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s insulin sensitivity.

The prolonged-release (PR) form provides a steady release of the medicine for consistent glucose control.
