How Does It Work?

• Diapride M Forte 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).
