Glycomet GP 3/850 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Glimepiride (3 mg): This component belongs to a group of medications known as sulfonylureas. It helps control blood glucose levels by stimulating the pancreatic beta cells to release more insulin. Additionally, it increases the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin, which helps them absorb more glucose from the bloodstream.

• Metformin (850 mg): As a biguanide, metformin works by reducing the amount of glucose your intestines absorb from food and decreasing glucose production in the liver. It also improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation. Unlike sulfonylureas, metformin does not cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in either diabetic or nondiabetic individuals.

The synergistic action of these two components effectively controls blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
