How the Medication Works

Metformin 500mg (SR), Glimepride 2mg And Voglibose 0.2mg Tablet is the combination of three antidiabetic medicines. Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin. Glimepride stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, helping lower blood sugar levels. Voglibose slows carbohydrate digestion and sugar absorption in the intestines, helping control blood sugar levels after meals. 

By lowering sugar level throughout the day and lowering excess glucose production by the liver it reduces the risk of long-term diabetic complications, such as nerve damage, kidney disease, vision problems, and cardiovascular complications.
