How Does It Work?

• Obimet GX1 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 helps to move sugar (glucose) from the blood into the cells.
• Metformin decreases the absorption of sugar in the intestine and its production by the liver.
• Both of these components allow the cells of the body to use blood sugar more effectively, thereby reducing blood sugar.

• Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water.
