About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Metviron Trio 1 Tablet ER is a fixed-dose combination product containing glimepiride (1mg), metformin (500mg), and voglibose (0.2mg) designed to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. This oral antihyperglycemic agent is intended for once-daily administration. Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, stimulates insulin secretion and enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion, while metformin, a biguanide, reduces glucose absorption in the small intestine and increases glucose uptake in the periphery. Voglibose, a synthetic α-glucosidase inhibitor, delays carbohydrate digestion and absorption. The combination of these three agents provides a synergistic effect in controlling hyperglycemia. Metviron Trio 1 Tablet ER is available in a once-daily extended-release formulation, allowing for more consistent blood glucose control throughout the day. This product is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes, patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reactions, and in those with liver disease or kidney impairment. As with all medications, patients should be closely monitored for signs of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and other 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
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.
