Glibemide Forte – Glibenclamide and Metformin Tablets IP 5mg + 500mg

Glibemide Forte provides a dual-action approach to managing Type 2 Diabetes.

Glibenclamide is a sulfonylurea that works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. Metformin is a biguanide that works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines, and increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Together, they effectively lower both fasting and post-meal blood glucose levels. Proper control of blood sugar is essential to prevent serious diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, and cardiovascular issues.
