How Gemer 1 Tablet TABLET Works
Gemer 1 Tablet is a combination medicine with two active ingredients. Here’s how they work:
- Glimepiride (1 mg): This component enhances insulin secretion by the pancreatic beta cells and increases the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin. It works by binding to the sulfonylurea receptors on the beta cell membrane, causing cell depolarisation and calcium influx, which stimulates insulin release.
- Metformin (500 mg): Metformin works by decreasing hepatic glucose production, reducing intestinal glucose absorption, and improving insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation. It activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a liver enzyme crucial for insulin signalling, energy balance, and glucose and lipid metabolism.
