Glimet Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Glipizide (2.5 mg): This ingredient belongs to a group of medicines called sulfonylureas. Glipizide works by stimulating your pancreas to produce more insulin. Simply put, it increases the amount of insulin in your body, which helps lower blood sugar levels.
Metformin (250 mg): Metformin is a type of medication known as a biguanide. It acts by reducing the production of glucose in your liver and by making your body's cells more responsive to insulin. This results in lower blood sugar levels and a better response to insulin in your body.
