How Does It Work?

• Amaryl M 2mg tablet is known to control blood sugar to a greater extent than metformin or glimepiride alone.
• Glimepiride lowers the blood sugar level increasing release of insulin hormone from the pancreas.
• Insulin moves sugar (glucose) from the blood into the cells.
• Metformin decreases the absorption in the intestine and production of sugar by the liver.
• Both of these components are known to increase the insulin sensitivity of the body (which allows the cells of the body to use blood glucose more effectively, reducing blood sugar).
