About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Glimison-VM 1 Tablet SR: A Combination Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes
Glimison-VM 1 Tablet SR is a once-daily tablet containing three active ingredients designed to manage Type 2 diabetes effectively:
* Glimepiride (1mg): A sulfonylurea medication that helps improve insulin secretion from the pancreas, promoting glucose control.
* Metformin (500mg): A biguanide drug known for its glucose-lowering effect by reducing hepatic glucose production and improving insulin sensitivity in the body.
* Voglibose (0.2mg): A selective alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that delays glucose absorption from the digestive system, further aiding in blood sugar management.
This combination therapy offers a comprehensive approach to Type 2 diabetes treatment by addressing various aspects of glucose metabolism. This medication is prescribed and monitored by healthcare professionals for individuals with elevated blood sugar levels.
Note: Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting or changing any medications.

About Glimepiride
Glimepiride is an oral hypoglycemic agent used to manage blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, thereby lowering blood glucose levels and preventing the symptoms associated with diabetes. Glimepiride is often prescribed alongside diet and exercise to enhance glycemic control and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications, such as kidney damage and neuropathy. In summary, Glimepiride is an essential medication for controlling blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes patients.
How It Works
Glimepiride stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and enhances insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, facilitating glucose uptake and lowering blood sugar levels.
All Active Ingredients
Voglibose
Voglibose inhibits intestinal alpha-glucosidases, delaying carbohydrate digestion and absorption, thus lowering postprandial glucose levels.
Metformin
Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity, lowering blood glucose levels.
