How Glimiace-M1 Tablet Works?
-
Metformin (500 mg): This biguanide reduces the amount of glucose produced by your liver. Additionally, it enhances your body’s insulin sensitivity which allows your body to use insulin more efficiently. Metformin also slows down glucose absorption from your intestines.
-
Glimepiride (1 mg): This sulfonylurea stimulates the pancreas to secrete more insulin. It attaches itself to receptors on pancreatic beta cells, which leads them to release more insulin. This increase in insulin levels enables more glucose from the bloodstream to enter the cells.
