Metformin Hydrochloride Prolonged-release 500mg + Glimepiride 2mg Tablets
Metformin Hydrochloride and Glimepiride is a cornerstone dual-action antidiabetic combination on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. Metformin acts as an insulin-sensitizing biguanide that reduces excessive hepatic glucose output and improves peripheral glucose uptake without causing hypoglycemia or weight gain, while glimepiride acts as an insulin secretagogue, binding to SUR1 receptors on pancreatic beta-cell membranes to stimulate physiological postprandial insulin release. Indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise in type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled by metformin alone.
Glimepiride Tablets 1mg
Glimepiride is a potent, third-generation oral sulfonylurea on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It binds to the 65 kDa subunit of the sulfonylurea receptor (SUR1) on pancreatic beta-cell membranes, closing ATP-sensitive potassium channels, depolarizing the cell membrane, opening voltage-dependent calcium channels, and triggering exocytosis of pre-formed insulin granules. Exhibits rapid association and dissociation kinetics, resulting in physiologic insulin secretion with relatively lower risk of prolonged hypoglycemia compared to older sulfonylureas. Indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
