Metformin 500mg + Glimipride 2 mg + Voglibose 0.2 mg
GLEMITOL MV 2/0.2 is a combination tablet containing Metformin, Glimepiride, and Voglibose, specifically designed for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to manage blood sugar levels effectively. Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, Glimepiride stimulates pancreatic insulin release, and Voglibose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, slows down carbohydrate absorption in the intestines. Together, this combination addresses blood glucose spikes after meals and provides comprehensive glycemic control throughout the day. GLEMITOL MV 2/0.2 is available in 10x10 blister packaging.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, primarily lowering fasting blood glucose levels.
- Glimepiride stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, effectively reducing postprandial (after-meal) blood sugar levels.
- Voglibose inhibits intestinal enzymes that convert complex carbohydrates into glucose, slowing down carbohydrate absorption and helping to control post-meal blood glucose spikes.

While GLEMITOL MV 2/0.2 is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects, including:- Hypoglycemia, especially with improper dosing or skipping meals
