About Glimestar

Glimestar M2 tablet is prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is an oral medication that combines glimepiride and metformin to manage blood sugar levels. Glimepiride stimulates insulin production in the pancreas, facilitating glucose transportation from the blood to cells. On the other hand, metformin curbs sugar production in the liver and absorption in the intestine.

Zoryl M 2 tablet, Gemer 2 tablet, Amaryl M2 tablet, Glycomet GP 2 tablet and Gluconorm G 2 tablet are some more medications that combine metformin and glimepiride.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a condition in which your pancreas does not make enough insulin to control blood sugar levels and your body is also unable to efficiently use its insulin. This causes high blood sugar levels in your body, which can cause medical problems like heart disease, kidney disease, blindness and poor blood flow in your hands and legs.

Glimestar M2 tablet lowers the raised blood sugar levels. You should take this medicine in the exact dose and duration as your doctor advises. Do not stop taking this medicine on your own.

How Glimestar works

  • Glimestar M2 tablet contains a combination of glimepiride and metformin as active substances.
  • Glimepiride lowers the blood sugar level by increasing the release of insulin hormone from the pancreas. Insulin moves sugar (glucose) from the blood into the cells.
  • Metformin decreases the absorption of sugar in the intestine and the production of sugar by the liver.
  • Both of these components are known to increase the insulin sensitivity of the body (allows the cells of the body to use blood sugar more effectively, thereby reducing blood sugar).

Glimestar M 2 tablet is used in controlling blood sugar levels, surpassing the abilities of metformin or glimepiride when used alone. Glimepiride works by increasing insulin hormone release from the pancreas, which helps to move glucose from the blood into the cells. Meanwhile, metformin reduces sugar production by the liver and absorption in the intestine. Both components help to enhance insulin sensitivity in the body, allowing for more effective use of blood glucose and ultimately reducing blood sugar levels.
Sometimes it may increase the risk of drop in blood sugar level as a side effect. So try to take your meals on time while taking Glimestar M Tablet. However, if you experience any symptoms related to hypoglycaemia such as drowsiness, unconsciousness, confusion etc, immediately drink the juice or eat the chocolate bar. Note that artificial sweeteners are not of any use in such scenarios. Always keep a juice or a bar of chocolate in the car close to you while driving or if you have frequent episodes of hypoglycaemia.
