About Glycomet-GP 2 Tablet PR

Glycomet-GP 2 Tablet PR is an oral anti-diabetic medicine used to treat Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It helps control blood glucose levels and reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve problems.

It is usually prescribed when diet, exercise, and a single anti-diabetic medicine are not sufficient to control blood sugar.

How It Works

• Glimepiride (2mg): A sulfonylurea that helps the pancreas produce more insulin.

• Metformin (500mg): A biguanide that decreases glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

The prolonged-release (PR) formulation ensures a slow and steady release of medicine, providing consistent blood sugar control throughout the day.
