Glimepiride and Metformin 2mg/500mg tablets combine a sulfonylurea and a biguanide to manage type 2 diabetes, helping to lower blood glucose levels through insulin stimulation and improved insulin sensitivity.
Typically, take one tablet twice daily with meals to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects. Swallow the tablet whole with water.
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Rare but serious effects may involve severe hypoglycemia or lactic acidosis. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience severe symptoms or significant changes in your blood sugar.
