About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Glucowin-M 2 Tablet PR is a combination oral antidiabetic medication containing Glimepiride 2mg and Metformin 500mg, designed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea class agent, stimulates pancreatic beta cells to release insulin, thereby enhancing glycemic control. Metformin, a biguanide, primarily acts by decreasing hepatic glucose production and improving peripheral insulin sensitivity, contributing to better glucose uptake and utilization. This dual-action formulation provides complementary mechanisms to effectively lower blood glucose levels in patients inadequately controlled by diet and exercise alone. Glucowin-M 2 Tablet PR is indicated for adults with type 2 diabetes who require combination therapy to achieve optimal glycemic targets. It should be used alongside lifestyle modifications, including diet and physical activity. The extended-release formulation allows for improved patient compliance by reducing dosing frequency and minimizing gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with metformin. Caution is advised in patients with renal or hepatic impairment, and regular monitoring of blood glucose and renal function is recommended. Contraindications include type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and known hypersensitivity to either component. Proper adherence to prescribed dosage and medical supervision is essential to maximize therapeutic benefits and minimize adverse effects.

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
