Product Overview

Glyziamet Tablets combine two antidiabetic agents, glimepiride and metformin, to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Glimepiride stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas, while metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin. Together, they help maintain better blood glucose control and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.
