✅ Primary Use:

Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)
This medication helps control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes, especially when diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes alone aren’t enough.

🔍 How the Combination Works:

1. Metformin (500 mg – Prolonged Release):

   • Decreases glucose production in the liver

   • Improves insulin sensitivity

   • Helps reduce absorption of sugar from the intestine

   • Being in prolonged release form, it works steadily over time and may cause fewer stomach-related side effects

2. Glimepiride (1 mg):

   • Stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin

   • Lowers blood sugar levels by promoting insulin secretion

👤 Typically Prescribed For:

• Adults with Type 2 Diabetes (non-insulin-dependent)

• Patients who are overweight or obese, since Metformin may help in weight control

• Cases where a single medication isn’t enough to control blood sugar

⚠️ Important Notes:

• Not meant for Type 1 Diabetes

• Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless prescribed

• Should be taken exactly as prescribed to avoid hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), especially due to Glimepiride
