Gemer 1 tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medicine. It contains glimepiride and metformin as its active ingredients. It is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, a condition where blood sugar level rises above the normal range and cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone. This medicine helps lower elevated blood glucose levels.
You must follow a healthy diet and exercise along with the medicine. Gemer must be taken as directed by the doctor, in the doses and duration prescribed. It must be taken with meals, with the first meal of the day. Take this tablet at the same time each day to achieve optimal therapeutic benefit.
Gemer Tablet may cause some side effects, although not everyone experiences them. The most common side effects include headache, nausea, and vomiting. A significant concern with this medication is the risk of low blood sugar levels, also known as hypoglycemia. This can manifest as hunger, headache, sleepiness, restlessness, aggression, reduced alertness, or confusion. In case of such symptoms, it is essential to have a quick source of sugar, such as juice or candy. Some individuals may experience a pins-and-needles sensation, numbness, and weakness. If any of these side effects persist or become bothersome, it is important to inform your doctor, as a dosage adjustment may be necessary.
Amaryl M1 tablet, Gluconorm G 1mg tablet, Glimestar M 1mg tablet and Zoryl M 1mg tablet also include glimepiride and metformin.

How Gemer works
- Gemer Tablet controls blood sugar to a greater extent than metformin or glimepiride alone.
- Glimepiride lowers the blood sugar level and increases the release of insulin from the pancreas.
- Insulin passes sugar (glucose) from the blood into the cells.
- Metformin decreases the absorption in the intestine and the production of sugar in the liver.
- Both of these components increases the insulin sensitivity of the body (which allows the cells of the body to use blood glucose more effectively, reducing blood sugar).
