• Glimepiride (0.5 mg): Belonging to the sulfonylurea class of antidiabetic agents, glimepiride stimulates your pancreas to secrete more insulin. This action helps move sugar from your blood into your cells. Additionally, glimepiride enhances the insulin sensitivity of body tissues.

• Metformin (500 mg): As a member of the biguanide class of medicines, metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and decreases intestinal absorption of glucose. The extended-release formulation gradually releases metformin into your system, providing steady blood levels and improving insulin sensitivity by increasing glucose uptake and utilisation in your body.
