Glimepiride 2mg + Metformin 500mg SR is a prescription medication used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This combination tablet contains Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, and Metformin (Sustained Release), a biguanide that decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity. Together, they work synergistically to maintain optimal blood glucose levels in patients whose diabetes is not adequately controlled with diet and exercise alone. The SR (Sustained Release) formulation ensures gradual release of Metformin over time, reducing gastrointestinal side effects and enhancing patient compliance. Regular use of this combination helps prevent diabetes-related complications such as neuropathy, nephropathy, and cardiovascular risks.
