About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Mexfib G Forte 3mg/1000mg Tablet SR is a sustained-release oral medication containing a fixed-dose combination of glimepiride (3mg) and metformin (1000mg) in a single tablet. This formulation is designed to provide a prolonged therapeutic effect, with a delayed release of the active ingredients over a period of several hours. The glimepiride component is an oral sulfonylurea hypoglycemic agent that stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas, while the metformin component is a biguanide derivative that reduces glucose production in the liver and increases insulin sensitivity. Mexfib G Forte is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly in patients who are not adequately controlled with diet and exercise alone, or in combination with other oral antidiabetic medications. The medication is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe renal or hepatic impairment. The recommended starting dose is 1 tablet once daily, with adjustments as needed to achieve optimal glycemic control. As with all medications, Mexfib G Forte should be used with caution in patients with a history of hypoglycemia, cardiovascular disease, or other comorbidities.
