Glidax M1 Forte is formulated for patients who require an increased dose of Metformin for effective glycemic control.
The Glimepiride (1 mg) component acts as a sulfonylurea, stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin. The Metformin (1000 mg) is provided in a Sustained Release (SR) format, which ensures the large dose is released gradually into the system. This “Forte” strength is particularly effective at reducing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity, while the SR mechanism helps minimize the gastrointestinal side effects often associated with high-dose Metformin.
Together, they work to lower both fasting and post-meal glucose levels, helping patients reach their HbA1c targets and preventing long-term diabetic complications.
