About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Metsmall G 1mg/500mg Tablet is a fixed-dose combination of Glimepiride (1mg) and Metformin (500mg) indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly in patients who are unable to achieve adequate glycemic control with metformin alone. Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, enhances insulin secretion, while Metformin, a biguanide, increases glucose uptake in the peripheral tissues. This combination tablet works by synergistically increasing insulin sensitivity, enhancing glucose metabolism, and improving insulin secretion. Metsmall G is suitable for patients who are not achieving adequate glycemic control with metformin alone, and for those who are intolerant to metformin. It is also indicated for patients with type 2 diabetes who are at risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The recommended starting dose is 1 tablet once daily, with the option to increase to a maximum of 2 tablets once daily. Metsmall G is contraindicated in patients with severe kidney or liver impairment, and those with a history of hypoglycemia.

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
Metformin
Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity, lowering blood glucose levels.
