About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Glisen-PM 2 Tablet ER is a combination oral antidiabetic medication formulated for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains Glimepiride 2 mg, Metformin 500 mg, and Pioglitazone 15 mg, each contributing distinct mechanisms to improve glycemic control. Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, stimulates pancreatic beta cells to enhance insulin secretion. Metformin, a biguanide, primarily decreases hepatic glucose production and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity, thereby reducing insulin resistance. Pioglitazone, a thiazolidinedione, acts as an insulin sensitizer by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), enhancing glucose uptake in adipose tissue and muscle. The extended-release (ER) formulation ensures a sustained therapeutic effect, promoting better patient compliance by reducing dosing frequency. Glisen-PM 2 is indicated for patients inadequately controlled on diet, exercise, and monotherapy or dual therapy with these agents. It is essential to monitor blood glucose levels regularly and assess renal and hepatic function prior to and during treatment. Common adverse effects may include hypoglycemia, gastrointestinal disturbances, weight gain, and edema. Caution is advised in patients with heart failure or hepatic impairment. Glisen-PM 2 should be used as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, including lifestyle modification and regular medical supervision.

About Metformin
Metformin is an oral antihyperglycemic agent used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. Metformin is effective in controlling blood sugar levels and preventing diabetes-related complications. In summary, Metformin is vital for managing type 2 diabetes.
How It Works
Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity, lowering blood glucose levels.
All Active Ingredients
Glimepiride
Glimepiride stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and enhances insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, facilitating glucose uptake and lowering blood sugar levels.
Pioglitazone
